I have been trying to follow the "instructions" at
"http://blog.iandreev.com/?p=1975#dovecot"; and they seem to be pretty
good. everything works until I get to the part were I test the dovecot
installation and it keeps failing.
I get an AUTH fail error at the "telnet localhost 110" login commands
I am trying to setup 3 domains:
domain1.us
domain2.com
domain3.com
I have 4 users entered in the /etc/dovecot/users file
I followed the instructions for creating an encrypted password but don't
think it is correct and I don't have the knowledge to say why. Just
doesn't feel right.
I admit I am over my head and the learning curve just got exponential -
any help at all would be really appreciated.
