This client socket is used by Postfix for 'SMTP-AUth'. Deliver, Dovecot's LDA, prefers the Unix-domain socket from the auth-master. (e.g. http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL) But the error message in the original mail mentions the socket at /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot, and this is not the configured one. Per is using Unbuntu Linux, (see `dovecot -n` output in the first mail.) Per, maybe you've got a funny called file: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf. If so, edit this file, as mentioned in your /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: [email protected]
