Hi all,
I'm in the process of setting up my new email server on oS 11.2. Clean default install.
Basic setup is Postfix/Cyrus/Saslauth/Pam
I followed my previous setup closely, but setting up Thunderbird for one user gives an error "You cannot log in to localhost because the server doesn't allow plain text authentication without STARTTLS or SSL/TLS. Try enabling connection security or secure authentication in the account settings.
But I believe I have everything set up to allow plain text authentication. I would like to make sure all is working right before I set up the certs for SSL/TLS. You didn't mention when you get the error (while trying to access the IMAP Server? Or while trying to send mail) and from which of the daemons it came. Assuming that it came from cyrus-imapd it might be because cyrus-imapd by default does not allow plain text authentication on uncrypted channels (i.e. without TLS/SSL encryption in place). If you really want to override that (which is generally a bad idea IMO) you need to add "allowplaintext: 1" to your imapd.conf. (And restart cyrus of course)
Sure would appreciate any help on this. Below is what I've done and tested so far.......... [..]
