When I set up my email client (outlook) I am getting pop3 authentication errors even thought I know the password is correct. No errors in the mail.err log. ISPConfig 3 running in a multi server Ubuntu 12.04 setup. Here is a small part of mail.log Sep 5 18:45:03 mail1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 5 18:45:03 mail1 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected (no auth attempts): rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured Sep 5 18:45:04 mail1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.32, lip=192.168.1.9 Sep 5 18:45:17 mail1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.32, lip=192.168.1.9 Sep 5 18:45:19 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23270]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.32] Sep 5 18:45:19 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23270]: E426E161A89: client=unknown[192.168.1.32] Sep 5 18:45:19 mail1 postfix/cleanup[23298]: E426E161A89: message-id=<> Sep 5 18:45:19 mail1 postfix/qmgr[1671]: E426E161A89: from=, size=617, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 5 18:45:19 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23270]: disconnect from unknown[192.168.1.32] Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23302]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23302]: 81A64161A8D: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/cleanup[23298]: 81A64161A8D: message-id=<[email protected]> Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/qmgr[1671]: 81A64161A8D: from=, size=1334, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23302]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 amavis[1139]: (01139-02) Passed BAD-HEADER, LOCAL [192.168.1.32] [192.168.1.32] -> , quarantine: z/badh-zLoll4lCUk+S, mail_id: zLoll4lCUk+S, Hits: 2.287, size: 617, queued_as: 81A64161A8D, 1458 ms Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/smtp[23299]: E426E161A89: to=, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=1.8, delays=0.2/0.12/0.02/1.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 81A64161A8D) Sep 5 18:45:21 mail1 postfix/qmgr[1671]: E426E161A89: removed Sep 5 18:45:22 mail1 dovecot: lda([email protected]): sieve: msgid=<[email protected]>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Sep 5 18:45:22 mail1 postfix/pipe[23303]: 81A64161A8D: to=, relay=dovecot, delay=0.95, delays=0.02/0.29/0/0.63, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service) Sep 5 18:45:22 mail1 postfix/qmgr[1671]: 81A64161A8D: removed Sep 5 18:46:42 mail1 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.32, lip=192.168.1.9 Sep 5 18:47:06 dovecot: last message repeated 2 times Sep 5 18:47:06 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23320]: connect from unknown[192.168.1.32] Sep 5 18:47:06 mail1 postfix/smtpd[23320]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[192.168.1.32]: 550 5.1.1 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table;
