Re: separate passdb for unix_listener

6 Oct 2015


      You can have a separate dovecot instance for smtp-auth and use that
socket in postfix config.
Just use a small config like the one below for the "auth only instance"
and fire it up with "dovecot -F -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-auth.conf"
you can then copy and adapt the systemd script or what ever to start it
automatically. in that sql-conf you just need a password_query, no
user_query.

base_dir = /var/run/dovecot-auth
instance_name = dovecot-auth
passdb {
driver = sql
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-auth-sql.conf.ext
}
# disable listeners
service imap-login {
inet_listener imap {
port = 0
}
inet_listener imaps {
port = 0
}
}
service pop3-login {
inet_listener pop3 {
port = 0
}
inet_listener pop3s {
port = 0
}
}
service auth {
unix_listener auth-userdb {
#mode = 0666
#user =
#group = virtual_mail
}
# Postfix smtp-auth socket
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth-smtp {
mode = 0660
group = virtual_mail
}
# Auth process is run as this user.
#user = $default_internal_user
}

I want to use a separate passed for the unix_listener (postfix smtp-auth) so i can limit access to the smtp server by user/domain using the postfixadmin database.
I want to let users access map to receive email but not be able to send.
Any ideas?
Thanks
