Hmm, I just cut-and-pasted my config :), the missing piece was the
unix_listener subconfig user, the user/group part in the service config
didn't need to match mine exactly, although I think
$default_internal_user is dovecot anyway.

Hmm, perhaps I misunderstood you? I thought you were trying to get SASL
auth working with postfix? But you're demonstrating an imap connection.

Ah, yes, I see in your original email you showed an imap connection too.
I just saw the /var/spool/postfix/private/auth and user/group postfix
parts of the config and made an assumption.

My config was for using Dovecot *just* to provide SASL authentication
services to postfix for smtp auth, I'm not using any of its other
features/services.

Sorry for any confusion.

I'm curious though, why are you setting the auth stuff up to be owned by
postfix if you'd trying to authenticate dovecot imap processes? It seems
you're mixing two different configs.
