Thank you Shachar!

Did you use Dovecot to access the mail? I am having some trouble with
the Dovecot passwords. I am finding this in the logs when I
unsuccessfully try to log in:

Jul 07 08:13:25 auth-worker: Debug:
pam(user at someDomain.com,212.179.241.14): lookup service=dovecot
Jul 07 08:13:25 auth-worker: Debug:
pam(user at someDomain.com,212.179.241.14): #1/1 style=1 msg=Password:
Jul 07 08:13:27 auth-worker: Info:
pam(user at someDomain.com,212.179.241.14): pam_authenticate() failed:
Authentication failure (password mismatch?) (given password: 12345)
Jul 07 08:13:29 auth: Debug: client out: FAIL   2   user=user at someDomain.com
Jul 07 08:13:29 pop3-login: Info: Disconnected (auth failed, 2
attempts): user=<user at someDomain.com>, method=PLAIN,
rip=212.179.241.14, lip=10.138.11.251

This is not the real password, but an example to show that I think
that there is an issue:
$ /usr/bin/doveadm pw -u user at someDomain.com -s DIGEST-MD5
Enter new password: # Here I have typed "12345"
Retype new password: # Here I have typed "12345"
{DIGEST-MD5}f4e442b0dec5009eaa8b9b4104923edc
$ printf "12345" | md5sum
827ccb0eea8a706c4c34a16891f84e7b  -
$

Shouldn't that password match the md5sum check? Also, might I have the
file formats wrong?
$ cat passwd
user at someDomain.com::5000:5000::/var/mail/vhosts/someDomain.com/user
$ cat shadow
user at someDomain.com:{DIGEST-MD5}f4e442b0dec5009eaa8b9b4104923edc
$

Thanks!
