It seems this must be owned by postfix but it was owned by root.
So, can somebody check to see if this is there in a CentOS 6 Postfix
install where Amavis is not installed? And if so, what are the default
permissions?
maybe try
rpm -qf /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
to see if it belongs to an rpm.
You could then rpm -V that package if it exists.
OK... I found it.
In Dovecot master.conf, I enabled smtp-auth. Under that, it seems you
must set the user to postfix or each time you restart dovecot the auth
file is recreated and is owned by root... resulting in the failure. I
looked for the file earlier and it was not there. It seems to have
appeared due to enabling smtp-auth, but I did make other edits before
restarting the service.
Inside of service auth I have the following:
# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}
I am considering adding group = postfix as well as the file is now group
root.
Thanks,

[CentOS] Postfix Question - CentOS 6
I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug... I'm running Postfix with Dovecot Authentication and have Amavisd-new as the front end. I fought with the install and in particular being able to send mail Auth failed. Hours of looking through all the config files yielded nothing... so I started Googling about. I finally found a comment at the bottom of a blog to check permissions on: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth It seems this must be owned by postfix but it was owned by root. So, can somebody check to see if this is there in a CentOS 6 Postfix install where Amavis is not installed? And if so, what are the default permissions?

Not present on a clean C6 install. Mind you, it's also not present after installing dovecot and amavisd-new (from epel), so I'm convinced it's part of a package per-se. According to the postfix SASL config (http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html), it's configured in dovecot.conf. Maybe take a look at what http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL says about it? Steve ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Also, I'll be doing another server like this in the next week or so and will try to see what/when this gets created. It might not get created until some particular service is started. I am running SSL connections and I think that plays into it. So far, that file has 0 bytes along with a bunch of others there. And, good to know that at least it appears that the CentOS packages are all fine.

If you want to discard the message you can use DISCARD instead of REJECT. See the ACTIONS section of man header_checks or the manpage here: http://www.postfix.org/header_checks.5.html It should be something like: /^Subject: Rejected posting to / DISCARD Delete returns from listserv The Delete returns from listserv message will appear on your logs, so it will be easier to see which (or how many!) messages are being discarded.
