I'm somewhat confused. I need to use a master socket for the dovecot lda but I also need to have a client socket for authenticating through Exim for outgoing smtp. The auth section doesn't allow for two sockets. How do I do this?

dovecot-example.conf has this:

#socket listen { #master { # Master socket provides access to userdb information. It's typically # used to give Dovecot's local delivery agent access to userdb so it # can find mailbox locations. #path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master #mode = 0600 # Default user/group is the one who started dovecot-auth (root) #user = #group = #} #client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups # using it. #path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client #mode = 0660 #} #}
