So this should allow postfix to piggyback on top of whatever dovecot auth is being used.

can dovecot run as a general sasl service for other apps? such as webdav.
I am using dovecot to provide authentication for postfix submission. This is the config in postfix:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot # Referring to /var/spool/postfix/private/auth smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf I have this:
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 user = postfix group = postfix }
If the application supports using a socket for sasl, then I would imagine that Dovecot should work.
Postfix is using the same postfixadmin database for email addresses that Dovecot is, but for authentication, it's all Dovecot.
I should probably look into Dovecot's submission support so I don't need to have postfix using that auth socket, just haven't found the time.
Thanks, Shawn
