Tommorow I was playing with my dovecot.conf, and now it is not working. In config I played only with protocols, enable and disable imap.

Here is my dovecot.conf

protocols: pop3s

ssl_cert_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/mail.acis.local.cert

ssl_key_file: /etc/pki/tls/private/mail.acis.local.key

ssl_cipher_list: ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2

login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login

login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login

valid_chroot_dirs: /var/vmail

first_valid_uid: 1001

last_valid_uid: 1001

first_valid_gid: 1001

last_valid_gid: 1001

mail_location: maildir:/var/vmail/%n

mail_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3

mail_plugin_dir: /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3

lda:

  postmaster_address: postmaster@example.com

auth default:

  username_format: %Lu

  verbose: yes

  debug: yes

  passdb:

    driver: passwd-file

    args: /etc/dovecot/passwd

  passdb:

    driver: ldap

    args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf

  userdb:

    driver: static

    args: uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%n allow_all_users=yes

  userdb:

    driver: ldap

    args: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf

  socket:

    type: listen

    master:

      path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master

      mode: 384

      user: vmail

      group: vmail

And here is the logs from my /var/log/maillog

Oct 12 12:17:35 mailhost dovecot: auth(default): passwd-file(user,10.64.0.124): lookup: user=user file=/etc/dovecot/passwd

Oct 12 12:19:02 mailhost dovecot: pop3-login: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=25004, input bytes=0

 

PS: This is 100% working config of dovecot.
