I am trying to setup Dovecot to use the expire plugin and wanted to use the LDA so I can ensure the messages are indexed as they are delivered to the mailboxes. This system is only accessed via a webmail interface

Using dovecot-1.1.2 and Vpopmail with Qmail

Dovecot.conf file base_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap disable_plaintext_auth = no shutdown_clients = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecott info_log_path = /var/log/dovecott log_timestamp = "" ssl_disable = yes login_dir = /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login login_user = dovecot login_process_per_connection = yes login_processes_count = 3 login_max_processes_count = 128 mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir namespace private { separator = . prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes }

verbose_proctitle = yes first_valid_uid = 89 #last_valid_uid = 0

maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes maildir_copy_preserve_filename = no

protocol imap { listen = 127.0.0.1:4143 imap_max_line_length = 65536 login_greeting_capability = yes mail_plugins = expire }

protocol lda { mail_plugins = expire log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log

}

plugin { # Trash and its children 7d, Spam 30d expire = Trash 7 expire_dict = proxy::expire

}

auth default { mechanisms = plain

passdb vpopmail {
	args =
}

userdb vpopmail {
}

user = vpopmail
count = 1
ssl_require_client_cert = no

}

I see errors in the /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log deliver (email@addrss) Error: Can't connect to auth server at /usr/local/var/run/dovecot//auth-master: no such file or directory.

What do I need to do to create this?
