Hi all!

This is my first posting to the list and I really could use some help
in getting postfix using dovecot as virtual_transport. I get an error
in dovecot-deliver.log that says "Can't connect to auth server at
/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot: Permission denied" Im using
postfix as MTA with two virtual domains and virtual users. This is my
dovecot -n output:
