[Dovecot] Mail not begin proccessed
Good day all,
[Dovecot version 1.2.1] I've set up postfix and dovecot on Centos. I have a problem with the mail, it is begin received but not "processed" by dovecot. I've looked in the maillog file and found two problems; the first is that private/dovecot directory (I think it should be a directory) did not exist and the second problem is "mail transport unavailable".
I've create a directory called /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot but I get the following error in the log file: Connection refused (Is this an ownership issue? I've made the owner postfix) As for the second problem, I've spend the most of the past 3 days googling the error and found very little "useful" information.
Do I need to supply more info?
Best regards, Andre

private/dovecot is typically dovecot authentication socket for SMTP AUTH. deliver doesn't need it.

Yeah. Postfix configuration, dovecot -n output and exact log messages what happens when you try to deliver a mail.
Hi
Thank you for the response. The dovecot's config is:

What does master.cf contain? Or postconf -n? This is anyway Postfix configuration problem, nothing really to do with Dovecot (your transport name just happens to be dovecot).
