Hi, I am trying to setup ISPConfig 2.2.32 on CentOS 5.3 32-bit. I followed the how-to on howtoforge for CentOS 5.2[1]. The control panel is working and the emails are being delivered to the mailbox. But, I am unable to login via IMAP.1 Here's the output from telnet ----- telnet dtc.progresspartners.co.in 143 Trying 70.38.112.176... Connected to dtc.progresspartners.co.in. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. a login mehul@thehappinesscompany.in ***** a NO Authentication failed. * BYE Disconnected for inactivity. Connection closed by foreign host. -----
Here's the logs for dovecot ----- dovecot: May 11 01:53:03 Info: auth(default): new auth connection: pid=31674 dovecot: May 11 01:53:16 Info: auth(default): client in: AUTH 1 PLAIN service=IMAP lip=::ffff:70.38.112.176 rip=::ffff:122.169.50.85 resp=AG1laHVsQHRoZWhhcHBpbmVzc2NvbXBhbnkuaW4AbWVodWw= dovecot: May 11 01:53:16 Info: auth(default): pam(mehul@thehappinesscompany.in,::ffff:122.169.50.85): lookup service=dovecot dovecot: May 11 01:53:18 Info: auth(default): pam(mehul@thehappinesscompany.in,::ffff:122.169.50.85): pam_authenticate() failed: User not known to the underlying authentication module dovecot: May 11 01:53:18 Info: auth(default): client out: FAIL 1 user=mehul@thehappinesscompany.in dovecot: May 11 01:56:16 Info: imap-login: Disconnected: Inactivity: user=mehul@thehappinesscompany.in, method=PLAIN, rip=::ffff:122.169.50.85, lip=::ffff:70.38.112.176 -----
