So in 1.2.9 I had something like this:
[...]
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode = 0600
user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver
}
}
# Dovecot as SASL Auth
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
I see I can, per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL,
setup the sasl entry as
# Dovecot as SASL Auth
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
what about the lda? From http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA I take it would
be as simple as
service auth {
unix_listener auth-userdb {
mode = 0600
user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver
}
}
Am I correct?
Yes, but no need for two service auth's, put them under the one.  you
might want to also include group= in addition to user, probably wont
matter too much if you don't, I cant remember the consequences of not.
  Makes sense, so I shall set them up as
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf
# http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL
service auth {
unix_listener auth-userdb {
mode = 0600
user = virtual # User running Dovecot LDA's deliver
}
    # Dovecot as SASL Auth
    unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth {
            mode = 0660
            user = postfix
            group = postfix
    }
}
Thanks for the help (and sorry for the late reply)! Now as soon as the
namespaces make sense to me and I figure out how to get sieve properly
configured I can do the upgrade.
