[Dovecot] Dovecot SASL on another machine
Hello list,
is there a way to use Dovecot SASL Authentication for submission on a different machine dovecot runs?
e.g.:
Dovecot machine <-> postfix machine(for submission)
How can I authenticate my senders on a different physical machine against Dovecot SASL?
Thanks,
Tobias

With v2.0 you should be able to add inet_listener for auth service, which acts as an auth-client socket.
Dovecot machine <-> postfix machine(for submission)
Looking at Postfix v2.8.0 code, looks like Postfix also supports it.

Thanks for your reply. I think I didn't couch correct. I want a postfix machine to authenticate against Dovecot SASL for submission service which hasn't installed dovecot locally. The postfix machine has to ask my central dovecot which is at the moment dovecot v1.2.15 but will be soon v2.
Is this possible, if yes, how?
Greetz,
Tobias

Yes, this is how I understood it.

With v2.0:
service auth { inet_listener { port = 12345 } }
Postfix:
smtpd_sasl_path = inet:dovecot.foobar.com:12345

OK, sorry.

Thanks a lot for your quick help!!!

Document it and Wietse will support it on the mailing list. If its not documented support will be declined.
Should I?

You mean document in Dovecot wiki or for Postfix?
Should I?
