Bug#798630: sasl2-bin: saslauthd rimap error with dovecot-imapd

[David Cure]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.26.dfsg1-13
Severity: normal



Dear Maintainer,


I configure saslauthd (for use with sendmail) to use rimap to
authenticate against dovecote-imapd.

Every time, I get this error message :

saslauthd[8707]: do_auth         : auth failure: [user=xxxx]
[service=smtp] [realm=] [mech=rimap] [reason=[ALERT] Unexpected response
from remote authentication server]

and after several try (and error), the user succeed to authenticate

I check in the dovecot-log and no error

(I have the same configuration on wheezy and no problem)

Any idea ?
