Всем привет!!! Помогите совсем "запарился". Подымаю на FC5 связку POSTFIX+DOVECOT. Ставлю все из rpm-ок, настроил постфих (вроде заработал по крайне мери письма локальным юзерам отправляет) а с DOVECOT замучился (не принимает клиентом почту и все) Куда копать? могу выслать конфиги и логи. Помогите справится с задачей третью неделю ковыряю.............Аутентификация пользователей из /etc/password

# %d - domain part in user@domain, empty if there's no domain
# %h - home directory

# If you need to set multiple mailbox locations or want to change default
# namespace settings, you can do it by defining namespace sections:
#
# You can have private, shared and public namespaces. The only difference
# between them is how Dovecot announces them to client via NAMESPACE
# extension. Shared namespaces are meant for user-owned mailboxes which are
# shared to other users, while public namespaces are for more globally
# accessible mailboxes.
#
# REMEMBER: If you add any namespaces, the default namespace must be added
# explicitly, ie. default_mail_env does nothing unless you have a namespace
# without a location setting. Default namespace is simply done by having a
# namespace with empty prefix.
#namespace private {
# Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all
# namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one.
#separator = /
# Prefix required to access this namespace. This needs to be different for

#location =
# There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines which namespace

#inbox = yes
# If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE
# extension or shown in LIST replies. This is mostly useful when converting
# from another server with different namespaces which you want to depricate
# but still keep working. For example you can create hidden namespaces with
# prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/".

# Dovecot attempts to automatically figure out what client wants and it keeps

# Also note that if other software reads the mboxes/maildirs, they may handle
# the extra CRs wrong and cause problems.
#mail_save_crlf = no
# Use mmap() instead of read() to read mail files. read() seems to be a bit

# which use separate caches for them, such as OpenBSD.

# Locking method for index files. Alternatives are fcntl, flock and dotlock.
# Dotlocking uses some tricks which may create more disk I/O than other locking

#lock_method = flock
# By default LIST command returns all entries in maildir beginning with dot.

# done always regardless of this setting)
#maildir_stat_dirs = no
# Copy mail to another folders using hard links. This is much faster than
# actually copying the file. This is problematic only if something modifies
# the mail in one folder but doesn't want it modified in the others. I don't

# requires that the mails don't change, so it would be problematic in any case.

# fcntl : Use this if possible. Works with NFS too if lockd is used.
# flock : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
# lockf : May not exist in all systems. Doesn't work with NFS.
#
# You can use multiple locking methods; if you do the order they're declared

# When mbox changes unexpectedly we have to fully read it to find out what
# changed. If the mbox is large this can take a long time. Since the change
# is usually just a newly appended mail, it'd be faster to simply read the
# new mails. If this setting is enabled, Dovecot does this but still safely
# fallbacks to re-reading the whole mbox file whenever something in mbox isn't
# how it's expected to be. The only real downside to this setting is that if
# some other MUA changes message flags, Dovecot doesn't notice it immediately.
# Note that a full sync is done with SELECT, EXAMINE, EXPUNGE and CHECK
# commands.
#mbox_dirty_syncs = yes
# Like mbox_dirty_syncs, but don't do full syncs even with SELECT, EXAMINE,
# EXPUNGE or CHECK commands. If this is set, mbox_dirty_syncs is ignored.
#mbox_very_dirty_syncs = no
# Delay writing mbox headers until doing a full write sync (EXPUNGE and CHECK

# It's possible to export the authentication interface to other programs,

# handles the actual authentication - you give it a username and password

# it. Master socket is used to a) query if given client was successfully
# authenticated, b) userdb lookups.

# settings given inside the auth section
