Text does the trick as well and survives pictures in the archives ;)

The wiki quoted and my running config both use 'mode = 0660'. Give that a try:

service auth {
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
    group = postfix
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
  }
  user = doveauth
}

You may leave out the extra doveauth user which is a specific flavor of my configuration. If that still fails, you should post some log excerpts from dovecot after a reload which probably show the problem.
