Public bug reported:
Hello,
I currently try to setup a local mail infrastructure: Retrieving them
via fetchmail, provide them locally by postfix and use dovecot for IMAP
access.
I also want to use SMTP AUTH with SASL via dovecot.
In order to do so I added the following configuration to
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
...
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks =
smtpd_sasl_local_domain = $myhostname
smtpd_sasl_path = private/dovecot-auth
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
...
and a corresponding line in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
...
auth default {
mechanisms = plain login
socket listen {
client {
path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
...
(full dovecot.conf is added to this report).
Now I try to start dovecot by "sudo service dovecot start" and get the
message
* Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server dovecot
Last died with error (see error log for
more information): Auth process died too early - shutting down
[ OK ]
on command line and
2010-06-06 16:07:52 auth(default): Fatal: Socket already exists:
/var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth
2010-06-06 16:07:52 dovecot: Fatal: Auth process died too early - shutting down
in the log.
I shut down postfix and deleted the socket manually, but this does not
help. Also I set the "count = 1" in the "auth default" section (I found
some report that more that one auth process is a problem back in 2006?).
The problem prevails.
So I regard this as an error.
Best regards!
