SMTP error Dovecot postfix

[falko]

tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 527/pop3-login
tcp 0 0 localhost:dyna-access *:* LISTEN 2415/clamd
tcp 0 0 *:imap *:* LISTEN 8841/dovecot

I wonder why it reads pop3-login for pop3 and Dovecot for imap... Maybe Dovecot isn't listening on POP3, maybe it's a different daemon? Can you access your mails if you use IMAP?

Hello,

I decided to use IMAP instead POP3 but, I never removed the POP3 option. I am able to access emails via Dovecot with Claws Mail in Linux , Outlook in windows and RoundCube online: with RoundCube I am able to send email.

Kind regards,

Al

Can you kill the pop3-login processes and restart Dovecot? What does

netstat -tap

show then?

Hi,

Done, here is the output

Now there's no POP3 daemon at all. Do you have pop3 and pop3s in the protocols line of your /etc/dovecot.conf?

[aberrio]

I remove POP3 protocol from dovecot.conf. I do not use it at all. I am using IMAP. I am not able to sand email from a client?

Any other suggestion?

Oh, I was thinking you were using POP3... Are there any errors in your mail log when you try to fetch mails with IMAP?

[aberrio]

Hell
I tried outlook and I am getting the followin error...

Jan 12 09:14:09 mail postfix/smtpd[22968]: lost connection after AUTH from unknown[201.244.201.xx]
Jan 12 09:14:09 mail postfix/smtpd[22968]: disconnect from unknown[201.244.201.xx]
