For me it looks odd because the auth-userdb is defined as << base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/ Why are you trying to put this under /usr/local? /usr/local/var is not a usual place to put things on Unix systems: generally speaking programs installed under /usr/local use /var just like those installed under /usr. Ah this would explain why always /var/run is used. service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { mode = 0777 This probably shouldn't be world-readable. I just set world-writeable to see which file under /var/run or /usr/local/var/run is affected. So was just for testing purposes. user = vmail group = vmail } ....
The rights on the file should be correct according to the config above << ls -al /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb srwxrwxrwx 1 vmail vmail 0 May 6 20:11 /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb
I grepped through all the configfiles but could not find the "wrong"
I cannot explain why the lda tries to access << Error: userdb lookup: connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb) path from the error message above. Probably your Dovecot binaries are built with a default base_dir of /var/run/dovecot. What do the following give you?
doveconf -d base_dir (as root) doveconf base_dir (as root) doveconf base_dir (as vmail:vmail)Would it might be a "fix" to symlink /usr/local/var/run/dovecot to /var/run/dovecot ? Or would that break something with dovecot? Yesterday I "fixed" it with a symlink. But I think better doing as you described and use /var/run/ I will remove my definition this evening and see if everything works fine if only using /var/run I just thought I "have" to use /usr/local/var/run because /usr/local is

It probably won't break anything, but why don't you just use /var/run/dovecot in the first place and take that base_dir definition out of dovecot.conf?
Ben
Thanks for your help I will try this evening
