I'm trying to figure out if this is a bug... I'm running Postfix with Dovecot Authentication and have Amavisd-new as the front end. I fought with the install and in particular being able to send mail.... Auth failed. Hours of looking through all the config files yielded nothing... so I started Googling about. I finally found a comment at the bottom of a blog to check permissions on: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth It seems this must be owned by postfix but it was owned by root. So, can somebody check to see if this is there in a CentOS 6 Postfix install where Amavis is not installed? And if so, what are the default permissions? Thanks, John Hinton

Mind you, it's also not present after installing dovecot and amavisd-new (from epel), so I'm convinced it's part of a package per-se. According to the postfix SASL config (http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html), it's configured in dovecot.conf. Maybe take a look at what http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL says about it? Steve
