Hello,

...

is it possible to provide service auth on tcp-socket instead of unix-socket? I changed my conf and dovecot 2.0.5 is restarting but on telnet test it throws: dovecot: auth: Fatal: getsockname(12) failed: Socket operation on non-socket

Want to separate smtp and imap to different servers but keep using dovecot auth for postfix-sasl. Whats to do? hmm, is postfix able to use non-unix socket for dovecot-sasl?

Well, added support for that: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/fe8e82b5bff9

Thanks for that. is it save to use smtpd_sasl_path = inet:localhost:1434 in postfix's main.cf?

there are some warnings in log: "when SASL type is "dovecot", SASL path "inet:localhost:1434" should be a socket pathname" ( Datei src/xsasl/xsasl_dovecot_server.c )

Thanks, Hajo
