I tried activating this code in the example config file and it failed to create the socket. You might want to look inti this. Running alpha1.

#auth external { # socket connect { # master { # path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master # } # } #}

That means you want Dovecot to connect to external authentication server for perform authentication. If you want Dovecot to create the auth-master for you, use instead this:

socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master #mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) #user = #group = } }
