Thanks for your reply, too!

So does this mean that auth_socket_path is by default set 
to /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master? And I have to set that parameter 
explicitly to /var/run/dovecot/auth-master?

I am a little confused. Why are there two places to set the path to the 
authentication master socket? Do I need to set both? Until yesterday, when I 
started experimenting, I hadn't even uncommented the "master { ... }" section 
under "socket listen { ... }", I just used the client so Postfix could do 
SMTP authentication lookups, as you can see from dovecot -n.

P.S.: As you could probably tell some messages from this list bounced from my 
mailserver when I tried to get the configuration right (which I didn't :)). I 
apologise for that.
