problems after switch MTA (qmail to postfix)

[JuliusT]

Where it used to be all fine and dandy, now I see a lot of these in the maillog:

plesk courier-authdaemon: authpsa: short mail addresses are not allowed, got 'xx'

and these:

plesk courier-imaps: authentication error: Input/output error

there was/is a user logging in with xx@something.com, but this is what it shows now. These were NOT in the maillog before the switch.

Then there's the fact that apparently some users can't send mail after the switch. I have no idea what causes this. Probably certificates that have not been moved by your wonderful (NOT) script. I ran:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller --select-release-current --install-component postfix
last night in order to get rid of qmail and finally be able to use postfix (which i.m.o. is much better in many ways. Config is easier too..)

Next one to go is courier. I mean, dovecot anyone? Courier seems a total mess. Especially when you start to analyze log files. Which deamon does what exactly?

Any input on the log-entries is welcomed!

Have you tried rebuild mailserver settings with mchk utility?
Support of Dovecot will be added in Plesk 12. Read corresponding threads here - http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?676
