Login problem.

[Eric Gregory]

I setup postfix +mysql + cyrus Imap today using the instructions locate 
on this site.  
http://www.wistful.net/~moon/my_freebsd_virtual_mail_howto.html

all config files are as recommeded in the walk through but when I try to 
authenticate either through squirrelmail or telnetting to port 110 and 
manually authing I get this in the log.


Jul 28 16:39:29 mx pop3[672]: sql plugin couldn't connect to any host
Jul 28 16:39:29 mx pop3[672]: sql plugin could not connect to host 
localhost.gatewayconnections.com
Jul 28 16:39:29 mx pop3[672]: sql plugin couldn't connect to any host
Jul 28 16:39:29 mx pop3[672]: badlogin: localhost [::1] plaintext eric 
SASL(-13): user not found: checkpass failed
or it says imap instead of pop3 if I use squirrelmail

Mysql is running, I can connect to it using: mysql -h localhost -u 
postfix -p
so I think that means the socket is good.  I have replaced 
localhost.gatewayconnections.com with localhost, 127.0.0.1 and the ip 
address of the system and none have worked.

Can anyone offer me any hints as to what I'm doing wrong here.

The help is really appreciated
