Dovecot (+ MySQL + postfix) - Client cant access

  • 772

My goal is to get a mailserver that is capable of sending and receiving emails from several different domains. Therefore I want to use virtual users.

I followed this manual step by step: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassassin.

Afterwards I tried to connect to the mailserver by using port 993, a user from the database and the password. I was not able to troubleshoot this issue by myself.

telnet localhost 993 and telnet domain 993 is possible. 'login user password' is not possible. 'doveadm user [email protected]' responses a good answer.

My configuration file:

# OS: Linux 3.13.0-62-generic x86_64 Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS ext4
auth_mechanisms = plain login
login_greeting = Hello.
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n
mail_privileged_group = mail
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location = 
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix = 
}
passdb {
  args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
  driver = sql
}
protocols = imap lmtp
service auth-worker {
  user = vmail
}
service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0666
    user = postfix
  }
  unix_listener auth-userdb {
    mode = 0600
    user = vmail
  }
  user = dovecot
}
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imap {
    port = 0
  }
}
service lmtp {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0600
    user = postfix
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
  args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/mail/vhosts/%d/%n
  driver = static
}
