hello experts,
I have installed postfix and dovecot in the same machine.
Their configure looks as:
service lmtp {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
mode = 0600
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
auth_mechanisms = plain login
!include auth-passwdfile.conf.ext
my question is:
when postfix talks to dovecot, does it require user's username/password
for authentication? or this communication just goes without authentication?
I asked this, b/c my webmail send mail from localhost has been going
without authentication to postifx. so i am not sure if postfix talks to
dovecot without requiring auth too.
Thanks
alice
