Hi, On Mon, Jan 23, 2012 at 5:38 PM, Rajesh M 24x7ser...@24x7server.net wrote: now i have a new box and tried to install dovecot version 2 using qmailtoaster rpm http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Replacing_Courier_IMAP_with_Dovecot_IMAP So what you have installed is dovecot-2.0.11-2.qtp ? i followed the instructions as per the above but with default installation i am a quite confused because there are so many config files the config files are all different and i am not sure which options to use What config files you are unsure about? The ones you should be looking at are: /etc/dovecot/toaster.conf /etc/dovecot/local.conf as those are the ones that the main config file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf loads The ones in conf.d directory are just examples/defaults. The defaults should work fine though? The only change I've done personally is: #auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 auth_mechanisms = plain login digest-md5 -- I disabled cram-md5 auth as Horde Imp was having problems with that. The defaults work quite good for me i am getting error as such telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 143 or port 110 gives error as below [root@ns1 conf.d]# tail -f /var/log/dovecot.log Jan 23 20:57:38 auth: Fatal: vpopmail: vauth_open() failed Jan 23 20:57:38 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling Everything worked fine before dovecot installation? You have standard setup using vpopmail + mysql? Is your database running? You haven't touched dovecot's toaster.conf and it is loaded? I don't know much, but it sounds to me that vpopmail cannot authenticate the user properly for some reason. my questions 1) is there some place to get detailed instructions on the installation or if anybody is already using the standard installation successfully then can you please post your config file and installation instructions AFAIK using the default configs from the qmt rpm everything should just work? 2) how better is dovecot pop3 and pop3 compared to normal pop3 of qmailtoaster, are there any known issues ? Not using pop3 that much, so can't help here. my qmail pop3 is working quite nicely but if dovecot is better then i could try that. If you don't have ny problems with it, then I would leave the setup as it is.
