I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 and followed these instructions http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL to configure Dovecot for Postfix.

No matter what I try, the listener is not created.

<http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/file/n48182/32.png>

dovecot -n does not show the listener (I guess that's why its not created)

This is the extract from the /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf

service auth {

auth_socket_path points to this userdb socket by default. It's typically

used by dovecot-lda, doveadm, possibly imap process, etc. Users that

have

full permissions to this socket are able to get a list of all usernames

and

get the results of everyone's userdb lookups.

The default 0666 mode allows anyone to connect to the socket, but the

userdb lookups will succeed only if the userdb returns an "uid" field

that

matches the caller process's UID. Also if caller's uid or gid matches

the

socket's uid or gid the lookup succeeds. Anything else causes a failure.

To give the caller full permissions to lookup all users, set the mode to

something else than 0666 and Dovecot lets the kernel enforce the

permissions (e.g. 0777 allows everyone full permissions).

unix_listener auth-userdb { #mode = 0666 #user = #group = }

Postfix smtp-auth

unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix }

Auth process is run as this user.

#user = $default_internal_user

}

Postfix is not involved in this right now as I expect the socket to be created when I restart dovecot. Can't find any meaningfull errors in the logs either. I hope I'm missing something obvious

Thanks,

Leo
