1. What are you using to set passwords? What have you configured in auth-sql.conf ? — NickW, Jan 21, 2014 at 15:07
If you're using virtual mailboxes for your virtual users, what manner of virtual password storage are you going to use? Basically, where is your list of users and where is your list of passwords? — etherfish, Jan 21, 2014 at 15:08
disable_plaintext_auth = no mail_location = /var/spool/postfix/vhosts/ passdb { args = scheme=CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } — DeepoOoOoz, Jan 21, 2014 at 15:10
I have virtual users in /var/spool/postfix/vhosts/virtual/domain/ — DeepoOoOoz, Jan 21, 2014 at 15:11
I have passwords in /etc/dovecot/passwd in the following format user:{PLAIN}password — DeepoOoOoz, Jan 21, 2014 at 15:12
