The dovecot config listed in the SASL_README is obsoleted for dovecot
2.0, it should probably be updated to reflect that. I'm not sure
exactly what should go in the SASL_README file but I'll show the
relevant part of my own dovecot config (which uses an sql db for
authentication, not pam):
auth_mechanisms = plain login
passdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf
driver = sql
}
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
unix_listener auth-userdb {
group = dovecot
mode = 0660
}
}
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf
driver = sql
}
Note that if you put the old config in dovecot will give a warning on
startup and `doveconf -n' will show the new config that you should
replace it with.
