Could somebody be able to explain to me what the various unix_listeners do in the Dovecot 2.x configuration (specifically in 10-master.conf).
Currently, for postfix to use for local delivery, I have:
service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } }
and for auth I have:
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0666 }
unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0666 user = vmail } }
So what does each one specifically do?
Also, does somebody know of a resource that can explain the mode setting? I couldn't seem to find anything on the wiki.. Sorry if these questions seem simple, Im still trying to get a grips with dovecots workings.
