Still muddling through with broken auth...

Hey Edgar,

Thanks for catching that! Missed it earlier! Got it changed but I’m still having the same error updated postconf -n:

[ec2-user at ip-172-31-24-2 conf.d]$ postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
debug_peer_level = 2
html_directory = no
inet_interfaces = localhost
inet_protocols = all
mail_owner = postfix
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/README_FILES
sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.6.6/samples
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-alias-maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-mailbox-maps.cf
virtual_transport = dovecot
[ec2-user at ip-172-31-24-2 conf.d]$ 

Here is the same error:

Apr  2 22:25:50 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: auth: Fatal: Unknown database driver 'sql'
Apr  2 22:25:50 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling for 60 secs
Apr  2 22:25:50 ip-172-31-24-2 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Auth process broken (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 9 secs): user=<>, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured, session=<leZR+ocvhwB/AAAB>



I feel like I’m missing something simple but can’t see the forest through the trees…

When I try: telnet localhost 143 this is what shows up in the maillot:
