Voytek, without being "explicitly" helpful to your question; it 'looks' like dovecot isn't actually getting as far as mysql and is instead only reading passwd.
That said, IIRC, (I've since dumped postfix/dovecot in favour of turnkey zimbra) unless you have set up virtual/alias users, if your user is in the defualt domain, don't you only need to log in with your userID as opposed to user<at>domain<dot>com? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Voytek Eymont" <li...@sbt.net.au> To: slug@slug.org.au Sent: Friday, 8 April, 2011 13:32:54 Subject: [SLUG] Dovecot mysql user setup troubles I'm trying to setup Dovecot with MySQL/Postfix/Postfixadmin, with mail users in mysql when I attempt to login to pop as *nix user 'voytek' with *nix password, it works OK: mail log: Apr 8 13:24:55 dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<voytek>, method=PLAIN, ri p=zzz, lip=xxx when I try as mail user I fail as follows: Apr 8 13:27:23 dovecot: auth(default): userdb(voy...@sbt.net.au,111): user not found from userdb passwd Apr 8 13:27:23 dovecot: pop3-login: Internal login failure (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<voy...@sbt.net.au>, method=PLAIN, rip=111, lip=222 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
