I am not a total moron - of course SASL is not missing. I have been doing this install hundreds of times since circa 1996, and last did it on lenny a few months back. I finally copied a dovecot.conf file from my previous lenny install and it worked. A diff of the the two files shows path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master in socket listen client in my new install whereas it should be path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth it works ok now -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
