I am trying to get dovecot working. I can telnet into and signon but none of the commands work. If I try to connect with outlook it just times out.
This is my dovecot.conf
## Dovecot 1.0 configuration file
default_mail_env = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%n
protocols = pop3 pop3_listen = *
login = pop3
login_executable = /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
auth = default
auth_userdb = passwd
auth_passdb = pam
auth_user = root
auth_mechanisms = plain
What am I missing?
Here's mine (POP3 on localhost only, POP3S everywhere):
# grep -v '^#' /etc/dovecot.conf | awk 'NF >= 1' protocols = pop3 pop3s pop3_listen = 127.0.0.1:110 pop3s_listen = *:995 login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 mbox_locks = fcntl auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_user = root
So I'm not using default_mail_env or login_executable but I have login_dir and mbox_locks; perhaps you could try those?
