Then your Postfix release predates Postfix 2.6 in which support
for "inet:" was introduced (postfix-2.6-20090212). Or someone
"improved" the code after obtaining it from postfix.org.
The change to support "inet:" from 2.6-20090212 is below:
- if ((fd = unix_connect(xp->socket_path, BLOCKING, AUTH_TIMEOUT)) < 0) {
+ /*
+ * Not documented, but necessary for testing.
+ */
+ path = xp->socket_path;
+ if (strncmp(path, "inet:", 5) == 0) {
+ fd = inet_connect(path + 5, BLOCKING, AUTH_TIMEOUT);
+ } else {
+ if (strncmp(path, "unix:", 5) == 0)
+ path += 5;
+ fd = unix_connect(path, BLOCKING, AUTH_TIMEOUT);
+ }
+ if (fd < 0) {
msg_warn("SASL: Connect to %s failed: %m", xp->socket_path);
return (-1);
}
Perhaps the comment could be modified now that the "inet:" syntax
is documented in SASL_README.
