Hello, I am trying to configure an email server. I followed information on this The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3] and add it the virtual and user from a different tutorial. I like to use Dovecot but SMTP is not able to loging with it. I am getting the following error.

Hello, SOLVED the error ... Feb 6 16:22:04 xxxx postfix/smtpd[13015]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or . But now when I add the following line to my main.cf to use Dovecot for authentication smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot i am getting the following error. warning: SASL: Connect to /var/run/dovecot/ failed: Permission denied Feb 10 20:36:30 musica postfix/smtpd[2974]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Here is the result for postconf -a cyrus dovecot Any ideas? Kind regards, AL Regards, AL
It's like you are not allowed to use dovecot. Post the result here for Code: ls -al /var/run/ |grep dovecot and Code: ls -al /var/run/dovecot/
Hello, Finally SOLVED. I had to change the following line in my main.conf path = /var/run/dovecot/ to path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client I am able to send email with Outlook but unable to do it with claws, this is another issue. Kind regards, Al
