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
I'm including some snippets from my dovecot.conf file that pertain to the auth-master file:
protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = postmaster@brashers.com
mail = maildir:/home/vmail/mail/%n
# Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname =
# Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. #mail_plugins = #mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/lda
# Binary to use for sending mails. #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail
# UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master #auth_socket_path = /home/vmail/mail/auth-master }
socket listen { master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master #path = /home/vmail/mail/auth-master mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) user = vmail group = mail } #client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. #path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client #mode = 0660 #} }
I have been beating my head against this trying to change the permissions to 0777, changing the directory of the socket, changing the auth user, and just about anything else I can find in any thread that relates to this error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
