Hi all,
I'm building a very simple mail server but I'm a bit stumped on the Dovecot side of things. All I need is a simple authentication against the system password database, and have no need for any fancy ssl/pam/etc mechanisms. At the moment Dovecot fires up but does not allow me to login to the IMAP server.
Here is my conf:

Here is my conf:
Code:
## Dovecot configuration file
# If you're in a hurry, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuickConfiguration
# "doveconf -n" command gives a clean output of the changed settings. Use it
# instead of copy&pasting files when posting to the Dovecot mailing list.
# '#' character and everything after it is treated as comments. Extra spaces
# and tabs are ignored. If you want to use either of these explicitly, put the
# value inside quotes, eg.: key = "# char and trailing whitespace "
# Default values are shown for each setting, it's not required to uncomment
# those. These are exceptions to this though: No sections (e.g. namespace {})
# or plugin settings are added by default, they're listed only as examples.
# Paths are also just examples with the real defaults being based on configure
# options. The paths listed here are for configure --prefix=/usr/local
# --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc --localstatedir=/var
# Protocols we want to be serving.

# A comma separated list of IPs or hosts where to listen in for connections.

# Should all processes be killed when Dovecot master process shuts down.
# Setting this to "no" means that Dovecot can be upgraded without
# forcing existing client connections to close (although that could also be

## Dictionary server settings
##
# Dictionary can be used to store key=value lists. This is used by several
# plugins. The dictionary can be accessed either directly or though a
# dictionary server. The following dict block maps dictionary names to URIs
# when the server is used. These can then be referenced using URIs in format
# "proxy::<name>".
dict {
#quota = mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
#expire = sqlite:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
# Most of the actual configuration gets included below. The filenames are
# first sorted by their ASCII value and parsed in that order. The 00-prefixes
# in filenames are intended to make it easier to understand the ordering.
#!include conf.d/*.conf
# A config file can also tried to be included without giving an error if
# it's not found:
#!include_try /usr/local/etc/dovecot/local.conf
