permanently Password reject for mail

[die-andis]

Good Morning,

after Upgrade from 10.4.4 to 11.0.9 the mailserver permanently reject all passwords. Reboot doesn´t help.

Plesk runs under Debian 6.0.5

best wishes

Pop3 works, imap not

Have you already run:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam

 

[die-andis]

yes, thats all "OK"

 

[die-andis]

send Emails with SMTP works also fine, only IMAP doesn´t work

 

[abdi]

Check in your /etc/hosts and make sure you have the "localhost" record in there and MUST be only "localhost" and not localhost4,localhost6 etc

 

[die-andis]

the localhost record in my /etc/hosts looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Make sure

/etc/init.d/courier-imap status

Is running and if its not, then

/etc/init.d/courier-imap start

 

[die-andis]

courier-imap runs

I would like to help you, perhaps PM me or come chat with me on skype: thegreatseven

However, you can check to ensure that port 143 is open on your server and that there are no firewalls blocking it.
NB: By IMAP not working i assume u can't login to Horde too right?

yesterday i found a solution. I delete the configfile "imapd" and restore an old one. after restart courier-imap everything looks fine.

thanks for your help abdi
