Public bug reported: The mail-stack-delivery package includes a dovecot auth file - 01-mail- stack-delivery.auth.
This is installed to /etc/dovecot/auth.d; however 1) dovecot 2.x by default does not try_include files in this directory 2) the auth configuration does not work with dovecot 2.x I think the auth configuration can now be included in 01-mail-stack- delivery.conf as detailed below: # Authentication configuration auth_mechanisms = plain login service auth { # Postfix smtp-auth unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth { mode = 0660 user = postfix group = postfix } } With the package in its current state postfix cannot SASL authenticate against dovecot.
