Hi All, I really need some assistance, every email account old or new no longer works:

In /var/log/maillog I get set of below for EVERY user even new ones I create:

Feb 9 19:47:34 serv01 dovecot[2362]: auth(default): shadow([email protected],90.192.13.35): unknown user
Feb 9 19:47:34 serv01 dovecot[2362]: auth(default): passwd([email protected],90.192.13.35): unknown user
Feb 9 19:47:34 serv01 dovecot[2362]: user [email protected]: Logins with UID 0 not permitted
Feb 9 19:47:34 serv01 dovecot[2362]: pop3-login: Internal login failure: user=<[email protected]>, method=PLAIN, rip=90.192.13.35, lip=194.9.29.32

I added dovecot=1 into directadmin.conf and rebooted server.. no luck

OUTLOOK ERROR:
Task 'Server_Name - Receiving' reported error (0x8004210E) :

The server responded: -ERR box locked

SQUIRELL MAIL ERROR:

Hello,

This bit
Code:
Logins with UID 0 not permitted
probably means that the old mbox format is still in the /etc/virtual/domain.com/passwd file.

First, double check that the dovecot=1 is actually being read in correctly:
Code:
/usr/local/directadmin/directadmin c | grep dovecot
You should see dovecot=1. Once that's good, then restart DA.

Next, you'll want to reconvert the passwd files. Type
Code:
echo "action=convert&value=todovecot" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d400
which should fix up the login problems you're having.

John
