Perhaps someone with experience of this would offer some advice - the various wikis and helpful howtos I have found so far all start with different assumptions, and there's the occasional "here's a sample script, but it's in an obsolete format, so don;t expect it to be of much help".
The basic aim, as before, is to graft dovecot on to an existing email server to allow remote mail access from smartphones. I'm trying to get dovecot running, but when I start it up I get: Fatal: Error reading configuration: Invalid settings: No services defined Because the configuration files are legion, it's no easy matter to track down where the offending (lack of?) settings are located. >From postfix I get: Oct 1 18:14:53 body postfix/smtpd[25677]: warning: SASL: Connect to /var/spool/ postfix/private/auth failed: No such file or directory this is, I presume, a Unix socket that is not getting created. I'm hoping these two errors are sufficiently diagnostic for me not to have to bother the list with what I take to be consequential errors. -- Steve Blinkhorn <st...@prd.co.uk>
