ear All, I configured Postfix 2.3.3-2 on CentOS 5.2 using SASL Dovecot authentication put I am facing the problem to receive mails . My postconf -n result is: [root@mails ~]# postconf -n … smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
Looks good.
And my /var/log/maillog is: Aug 23 19:01:03 mails dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Aug 23 19:01:55 mails postfix/smtpd[3472]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory ^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And our server 's fetchmail -vvv log is: … Not so interesting while your system is not proper setup yet. ;-)
You have forgot to send the output from
dovecot -n. But before doing so, please read http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL. Compare your dovecot.conf with the example dovecot.conf excerpt.Regards, Pascal
i recommend to upgrade first postfix to current stable 2.5.4 for security and other reasons, and i am not sure dovecot auth was allready working in 2.3.3 after that follow http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL be sure not to conflict with a chroot setup in Postfix as its default i.e in ubuntu hardy then everthing should work like charme
