    Authentication succeeded.

    Authenticated: test@normaldomain.info (system username: normaldo)

    i found my own solution)
    the domain name (that was not working) was same with my hostname.
    i changed hostname and all accounts are working now.

    I have a client with 2 email accounts (one each on diferent domains on the same server) that have the same problem. Unfortunately the server host name is quite distinct from either of the client domains...

    I ran the authtest for both and the resulting error message is the same:

    'Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted'

    I actually deleted each mailbox after saving the user mail folder, re-created the mailbox and then reinstated the user mail folder. This did not help.

    So does anyone have any further suggestions about this problem?

    This seems to be quite a frequent issue now, I have experienced the same issue on 2 different servers. Anyone got some ideas?
