Hi,
I had a working dovecot auth setup with exim 4.72 and then upgraded to
4.80 (debian squeeze to wheezy upgrade), auth attempts with alpine now
fail with exim saying:
2013-05-18 04:10:00 +0100 dovecot_plain authenticator failed for
boole.london.hackspace.org.uk (limpit.dhcp.lan.london.hackspace.org.uk)
[82.69.229.6]:51109: 501 Authentication cancelled
2013-05-18 04:10:00 +0100 SMTP syntax error in "[base64 encoded username
+ password]" H=boole.london.hackspace.org.uk (limpit.dhcp.lan.london.hackspace.org.uk)
[82.69.229.6]:51109 unrecognized command
and dovecot saying:
May 18 04:10:00 monstrosity dovecot: auth: Warning: auth client 0
disconnected with 1 pending requests: EOF
stracing the dovecot auth process (this is a 2nd connection, i might not
of caught the whole conversation), fd 16 is the conversation with exim:
accept(9, {sa_family=AF_FILE, NULL}, [2]) = 16
fcntl(16, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)
fcntl(16, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0
write(5, "\347\24\0\0=\5\0\0\347\3\0\0", 12) = 12
read(4, "Mu\244f\30\231\215\365\232\367\22\261~\214\266,", 16) = 16
fstat(16, {st_mode=S_IFSOCK|0777, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
lseek(16, 0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
getsockname(16, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/dovecot/auth-clie\227\177"}, [31]) = 0
