Hi I followed http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-6.4-x86_64-apache2-dovecot-ispconfig-3 to install my server. But when I tried to log in to squirrel mail, it always failed with the error 'Unknown user or password incorrect.'. Here is the log at /var/log/maillog Code: Nov 22 14:35:02 ipol2n postfix/smtpd[19004]: connect from localhost[::1] Nov 22 14:35:02 ipol2n postfix/smtpd[19004]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused Nov 22 14:35:02 ipol2n postfix/smtpd[19004]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Nov 22 14:35:03 ipol2n postfix/master[1902]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 19004 exit status 1 Nov 22 14:35:03 ipol2n postfix/master[1902]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Nov 22 14:35:32 ipol2n dovecot: imap-login: Aborted login (auth failed, 1 attempts): user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, secured How to solve this? Thank you in advance
I think you have missed a step in the howto or did something wrong. Your sasl authentication deamon doesn't seem to run correctly. If restarting all mail services does not help, recheck every howto-step and maybe rerun the ISPConfig update script and say "reconfigure services" => yes.
