(Apologies if this is a resend, but I thought I had received a
bounceback message.)
I have installed dovecot-postfix and postfixadmin on an Ubuntu 9.10
machine.
The userdb and passdb are both mysql.
If I set up a user in postfixadmin they are able to send.
I can successfully telnet into the server remotely by name on 110 and 25.
I'm not looking for any authentication encryption/ssl any of that, just
POP3/SMTP.
When I telnet into 110 I can enter a username with user [username] then
when I do pass [password] I get -ERR Authentication failed.
I know the user info is correct.
When I set up an account in Outlook Express I get "There was a problem
logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected:" Also saying
-ERR Authentication failed.'. (0x800ccc90,0x800ccc92)
So basically the same thing.
I can attach the tutorial I used in as a .doc if that would help.
Anyway, here is my relevant info I think.

I don't understand the issue with these lines.
They refer to dovecot.conf though.
The config file is clearly dovecot-postfix.conf so I am confused as to
why the other matters. I had noticed changes only when I changed
dovecot.conf though. (In dovecot -n output)
