Fedora pushed out an update to Dovecot 1.0 rc 28 today. After upgrading, mail isn't delivered to local recipients. My log file is full of error messages similar to the following:
Apr 2 12:56:32 mail deliver(user@domain.com): net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Connection refused
Delete this file. Restart Dovecot. Does it get recreated?
When I delete the file and restart Dovecot it is recreated.
Does this then happen every time when running deliver? Does netstat show that dovecot-auth is listening in that path?
When running deliver from the command line, I do not get the error. The error only appears when deliver is run from Postfix.
Netstat shows the following when running.
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 255526 private/dovecot unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1176428 /var/run/dovecot/auth-master unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1176411 /var/run/dovecot/login/default unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1176416 /var/run/dovecot/auth-worker.27311 unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1176409 /var/run/dovecot/dict-server unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 7888432 /var/run/dovecot/login/default unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 7888429
Connection refused means either that no-one is listening on the other side, or that its listen queue got full.
It appears that the auth-master is running. How would I check to make sure that it is listening and responding properly to requests?
