I have postfix+ dovecot but when I run sasl - have this:

Mar 31 21:21:39 localhost postfix/smtpd[13134]: warning: SASL: Connect to smtpd failed: No such file or directory Mar 31 21:21:39 localhost postfix/smtpd[13134]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Mar 31 21:21:40 localhost postfix/master[13128]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 13134 exit status 1 Mar 31 21:21:40 localhost postfix/master[13128]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling

I have Slackware 12.2. I write main.cf with documentation on postfix.org. my dovecot.conf:

base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ protocols = imap pop3 ssl_disable = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path=/var/log/dovecot.log listen=* syslog_facility = mail login_greeting = Dovecot ready. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n mail_privileged_group = mail protocol imap { } namespace private { prefix = INBOX. inbox = yes } protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %u-%v } protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@yourdomain.tld auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master } auth default { mechanisms = plain login passdb checkpassword { args = /var/www/ispcp/engine/ispcp-dovecot-mngr } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-domain.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-aliasdomain.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql-subdomain.conf } socket listen { client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0777 user = postfix group = postfix } master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } }
