Apr 27 21:28:39 sosogh postfix/smtpd[19776]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Apr 27 21:28:39 sosogh postfix/smtpd[19776]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Apr 27 21:28:40 sosogh postfix/master[19765]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 19776 exit status 1
my configuration:
[snip] Mail:/etc/dovecot# more dovecot.conf protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log disable_plaintext_auth = no auth default { mechanisms = plain login user = postfix passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } user = root socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } }
}
I wonder why private/auth does not exsit
