[Dovecot] Help please: Error: net_connect

13 Mar 2006


      Having some issues with having the deliver lda deliver properly.
Here are the vitals of the config :
=============================
socket listen {
master {
path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master
mode = 0660
user = maildir
group = maildir
}
}
protocol lda {
module_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda
postmaster_address = postmaster@bradphinney.com
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master
}
passdb passwd-file {
# Path for passwd-file
args = /etc/dovecot-passdb
}
userdb static {
# Template for settings. Can return anything a userdb could normally
# return, eg.: uid, gid, home, mail, nice
#
# A few examples:
#
  args = uid=600 gid=600 home=/export/mail/maildir/%u
mail=maildir:/export/mail/maildir/%u
====================================
The deliver program is setuid and setgid maildir.  The passdb seems to
be working fine since I can log in fine using a client.  When I try to
deliver mail however .. I get this
dovecot: Mar 12 20:42:02 Info: auth(default): master out: USER  1
superduper      uid=600 gid=600 home=/export/mail/maildir/superduper
mail=maildir:/export/mail/maildir/superduper
dovecot: Mar 12 20:42:02 Error: auth(default):
and then after a while .. this appears
deliver: Error: net_connect(/var/run/dovecot-auth-master) failed:
Permission denied
And the really odd thing is that the mail seems to be delivered and
placed in the maildir.
Any help would be appreciated ..
