Recently, I've installed the centOS 6. The purpose of the installation to use this server as Mail server. Where I've installed **Exim version 4.84_2 #1** and **Dovecot**.
I've followed this blog post and I've tried to solve the below given error, however I do not have luck to resolve it.
2017-02-06 07:07:27 no host name found for IP address x.x.x.x
2017-02-06 07:07:32 dovecot_plain authenticator failed for ([x.x.x.x]) [x.x.x.x]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=mailclown@com-supportnet.work)
2017-02-06 07:07:40 dovecot_plain authenticator failed for ([x.x.x.x]) [x.x.x.x]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=mailclown@com-supportnet.work)

Following is the output the configuration which I used from the above blog post.
[root@com-supportnet ~]# dovecot -n
# 2.0.9: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-642.11.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64 CentOS release 6.8 (Final)
auth_mechanisms = plain login
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
mail_location = maildir:~/mail
mbox_write_locks = fcntl
passdb {
driver = pam
}
service auth {
unix_listener auth-client {
mode = 0777
user = exim
}
}
ssl_cert = /etc/ssl/mail.com-supportnet.work.crt
ssl_key = /etc/ssl/mail.com-supportnet.work.key
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
Please let me know, how I can resolve this error.
