Hey Edgar,
Thanks for catching that! Missed it earlier! Got it changed but I’m still having the same error updated postconf -n:
Why do you provide the Postfix configuration? Absolutely unrelated to the shown dovecot error.
I provide what I know how to provide :)

While being at Postfix: You have zero SASL configuration, unless it is defined in master.cf for the submission transport.
Lets do 1 problem at a time… Unless SASL is needed for sending email?
Right, 1 problem at a time.
Yes, SASL is needed for your MTA to permit relaying based on authentication.
Okay, I’ll look at that as soon as I get my server allowing me to login! :)
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=
Please provide the output of "doveconf -n". You have a severe configuration error so that the auth process fails.
Here is the output:
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-24-2 conf.d]$ dovecot -n # 2.2.10: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Where did you get that dovecot version from? The Postfix version seems to indicate a RHEL/CentOS base of major release 6. That one does not ship a dovecot 2.2.x version.
postfix and dovecot were both downloaded from a simple: yum install postfix dovecot command on my amazon linux server
# OS: Linux 4.1.17-22.30.amzn1.x86_64 x86_64 ext4 auth_mechanisms = plain login mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir mbox_write_locks = fcntl namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
What specified in the dovecot-sql.conf.ext file? Make sure the driver in there is set as "mysql" and not "sql". Not sure whether your dovecot is packaged in a way that you need a another package to provide the SQL driver functionality.
driver = mysql connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=mailserver user=validsqluser password=validsqlpassword
default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5 password_query = SELECT email as user, password FROM virtual_users WHERE email='%u’;
Btw. there is no need to run any SQL based backend, neither for dovecot nor Postfix, while I see a lot of beginners to think it would be. Keep it simple, even most simple while your are doing your first steps.
The tutorial I found on workaround.org had it hooking up to sql so with me trying to learn more about all of linux, I thought why the heck not? :) For hosting multiple domains would it make a difference? I’m planning on hosting 2 from here for starters.
driver = sql } protocols = imap lmtp service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } unix_listener auth-userdb { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } user = dovecot } service imap-login { inet_listener imap { port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 993 } } service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } ssl = no ssl_cert =
It’s been awhile since I’ve run a mail server, and never to this extent… Always through hosting companies except for about 15 years ago when I did it for fun! :)
Thanks for all your help!
Regards
Alexander
Thanks Alexander!
Make sure MySQL is running and configured correctly as well.
