Hey Everyone,
I am trying to get postfix and dovecot to talk to each other? postfix is up and
running, dovecot allows me to telnet into it both locally and remotely, but when
I try to do: ?a login ?username? ?password? I get an authentication failed
error? Here is my dovecot -n:
[ec2-user at ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot]$ dovecot -n

I?m planning to use user accounts for it to connect to? I?m guessing I?m missing
something simple, but I don?t know where to look? Any pointers?
Thanks in advance!

Also, remotely telnetting will not work without SSL or non-plaintext authentication mechanism.
