I guess NO because communication is via socket. My exim-4.72 configuration (which doesn't use LOGIN) contains: | plain: | driver = dovecot | public_name = PLAIN | server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client | server_set_id = $auth1 And the dovecot-1.2.12 configuration contains: | auth default { | mechanisms = plain login | | passdb pam { | args = dovecot | } | | socket listen { | client { | # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone. Typical use | # is to export it to your SMTP server so it can do SMTP AUTH lookups | # using it. | path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client | mode = 0666 | } | } | } Hope it helps. YMMV. --Frank Elsner
