SMTP issues after upgrading to 3.0.2 - Dovecot related?

Hi,

I just upgraded from 3.0.16 to 3.0.2 and am no longer able to send or receive emails. I see that dovecot support was added and this may be causing issues with my existing config.

Should I install dovecot or can I get my config back to default? I originally used perfect setup for CentOS 5.3.

I now get the following errors;

Mar 11 16:24:59 ns3 postfix/smtpd[8820]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory
Mar 11 16:24:59 ns3 postfix/smtpd[8820]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Mar 11 16:24:59 ns3 postfix/smtpd[8822]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory

Mar 11 16:25:00 ns3 postfix/master[8151]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/smtpd pid 8822 exit status 1

I have in my main.cf;

# grep smtpd /etc/postfix/main.cf
smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, check_recipient_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_recipient.cf, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtpd_tls_security_level = may
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.cert
smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/smtpd.key
smtpd_sender_restrictions = check_sender_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_sender.cf
smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_client.cf
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth

and;

# grep dovecot /etc/postfix/main.cf
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

Thanks guys,
Mike

 

Guys,

Just an FYI, in case anyone runs into this and did not backup their main.cf...

remove or comment out the dovecot references;

#smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
#smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
#dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

and change the transport back to;

virtual_transport = maildrop

I am sending/receiving emails again.

Thanks,
Mike

 

Thanks Till. That's what it was.

Yeah, I realized that after my post and corrected the issue to allow send/receive, but did not re-run the update. I will do that now.

Thanks again,
Mike
