Dear Sir,

            My dovecot.conf
auth default {
          mechanisms = plain login
          passdb pam {
          }
          userdb passwd {
          }
          socket listen {
              client {
               # Assuming the default Postfix $queue_directory setting
                path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
                mode = 0660
                # Assuming the default Postfix user and group
                user = postfix
                group = postfix
                }
             }
           }

Thanks
