Hello I have a problem with Dovecot and roundcube webmail.
I've tried and retried, debugged and cant' figure out how to fix the problem:

Whenever i try to login into Dovecot it gives first a problem saying that the login failed, and after a second retry it says the the connection to the storage server failed...
I've reinstalled roundcube a couple of times, even tried the latest beta version (0,9?) and recompiled - updated dovecot, none of the following fixes the issue.

Here are some strange logs:

Code: 
From roundecube logs:

[18-Feb-2013 09:46:33 +0100]: IMAP Error: Login failed for [email protected] from 79.29.230.23. Empty startup greeting (127.0.0.1:143) in /var/www/html/roundcubemail-0.9-beta/program/lib/Roundcube/rcube_imap.php on line 184 (POST /roundcube/?_task=login&_action=login)


And then from the imap debug logs:

To me it looks like the roundcube is unable to parse any output from the postfix reply, looks like there is something wrong in the configuration file, but I can't figure which directive is involved, i have other servers without DA where everything works in a standard config.

dovecot.conf
Code: 
auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@&
auth_verbose = yes
disable_plaintext_auth = no
login_greeting = Dovecot DA ready.
mail_access_groups = mail
default_login_user = dovecot
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb {
  driver = shadow
}
passdb {
  args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd
  driver = passwd-file
}
protocols = imap pop3
service auth {
  user = root
}
service imap-login {
  process_min_avail = 16
  user = dovecot
}
service pop3-login {
  process_min_avail = 16
  user = dovecot
}
ssl_cert = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:-LOW:-SSLv2:-EXP
ssl_key = </etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
userdb {
  args = username_format=%n /etc/virtual/%d/passwd
  driver = passwd-file
}
verbose_proctitle = yes
protocol pop3 {
  pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
  pop3_logout_format = top=%t/%p, retr=%r/%b, del=%d/%m, size=%s, bytes=%i/%o
}

The latest stable version is Roundcube 0.8.5. Why don't you install it by using custombuild? Then it should work without problems:

Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build set roundcube yes
./build update
./build roundcube
 
Just got this issue on a new install, turns out there was placed an '-e' before the line 127.0.0.1 localhost inside /etc/hosts. After removing the '-e' it was ok. Not sure who or what placed it there, maybe this helps someone one day. :)
