I have a current working installation of Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL. I want to utilize the Dovecot implementation of SaSL for SMTP-AUTH. Here is the issue I am running into when making the appropriate changes to my configs, when starting Dovecot with the addition of the socket listen configuration in dovecot.conf, I see this error in the logs: Jul 5 00:02:11 localhost dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.beta9 starting up Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: child 25908 (auth) returned error 89 Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: child 25910 (auth) returned error 89 Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: child 25911 (auth) returned error 89 Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: child 25912 (auth) returned error 89 Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jul 5 00:02:12 localhost dovecot: auth(default): Socket already exists: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth Not quite sure why this is happening...I searched on google for this and found nothing. If anyone could please shed some light on this for me then please do as it would be appreciated. And for good measure: Postfix v2.3-RC5 Dovecot 1.0b9 Regards, James Bowling <james at jamesbowling.com>

Try if it works with count=1? -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
