I have followed the Dovecot/Postfix/SASL howto, and modified the main.cf and dovecot.conf files, yet when trying to authenticate during a postfix SMTP session the log reports: "postfix/smtpd....warning: SASL authentication failure: Could not open db"
Dovecot itself is authenticating IMAP logins correctly, and it is creating the auth file in the location specified under /var/spool/postfix/private.
Why is postfix not able to get to the Dovecot auth mechanism?
Thanks. Hugh
