Thanks for replying.
A. configuration:
%??? dovecot -n

B. description of problem:
When I try to check email, Thunderbird says:
Sending of password for user www did not succeed.Mail server xxxresponded:
Authentication failed.
And on the server, in the mail log, there's a message:
dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (user disabled):user=<www>, method=PLAIN
And thanks for the link to that Troubleshooting section. I didn't know that
was there and will take a look at it now.

Please provide doveconf -n output together with a description of your problem.

Hi, everyone,
1. As advised in?Debugging Authentication, I turned on auth_debug and
auth_debug_passwords, and now in the mail log I get an additional message:
dovecot: auth: passwd(xxx,xxx,<40AjQMFHSLVLGJAC>): invalid password field
'*'
Of course neither the password I tried nor the actual password was '*'.
That's what's in /etc/passwd, but dovecot isn't just using that, is
it?
2. In the new debug log, I get:
dovecot: auth: Debug: Loading modules from directory:
/usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth
dovecot: auth: Debug: Read auth token secret from
/var/run/dovecot/auth-token-secret.dat
dovecot: auth: Debug: auth client connected (pid=3183)
dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: AUTH??? 1??? PLAIN??? service=pop3???
session=RFp0lMFHHotLGJAC??? lip=xxx ?? rip=xxx ?? lport=110??? rport=35614
dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: CONT??? 1???
dovecot: auth: Debug: client in: CONT<hidden>
dovecot: auth: Debug: passwd(xxx,xxx,<RFp0lMFHHotLGJAC>): lookup
dovecot: auth: Debug: client passdb out: FAIL??? 1??? user=xxx ?? user_disabled
So it's something with passdb?
3. In TestPop3Installation I can't get past the "Check that it's
allowing remote logins" section. telnet gives me an error:
-ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed.
which I expect, because I have telnet turned off. Does that mean I can't use
plaintext authentication?
Thanks,
Bob
