Why would dovecot not be answering
I am really lost as to why dovecot is not authenticating
I have
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
in main.cf
and
# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf
I want it to authenticate on submition only
Everything I read says this should do it, but I am up against a wall. I
have no debugging information or log at all to confirm what postfix is
doing.

However, there should be interest that ./configure doesn't contruct a make file which steps on itself which is a condition that should never happen. Autoconf tools are supposed to handle these problems. It should compile from Slackware to Gentoo to Red Hat Enterprise. At the end of the day, they are all posix compliant systems. make install tried to first make a file called auth and then tries to use the same location on the file system to make a directory. That is a fixable bug.

Its not older than stretch.

It should compile, FWIW. Thank you for checking in with that (expected but not useful) answer. As for the next follow up, "why do I insist on compiling it, you must be ignorant..." the answer is because I have to compile it because I have to and why is not important for this conversation. If you feel discussing why the source doesn't compile is a waste of your time, I understand, but that is the problem I am facing and the problem I am hoping to fix. It doesn't compile from github or from the tar ball. In the case of the tarball, it steps on itself trying to create a directory where a file was just created under 'auth' So there seems to be an error in the makefile resulting from autoconf.
