Good morning,
Still not having luck to get the LDA to work, using Qmail + Vpopmail and read
the wiki. I'm using:
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb vpopmail {
}
userdb vpopmail {
}
user = vpopmail
count = 1
ssl_require_client_cert = no
}
Which work well for authenticating users, however when using the following in a
.qmail file:
|/var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER
I get the following error message:
Error:_userdb_lookup:_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot//auth-master)_failed:_No_such_file_or_directory/
Eventhough it should have been created (I think) in the protocol lda section of
the config file. I specifieD:
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
However I thought since using vpopmail I don't need to use the auth-master ?
or am I missing something?
Sincerely,
- Wouter van der Schagt

> You need to configure Dovecot to create the auth-master socket. > http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#Virtual_usersI have it working now, it wasn't working because the parent directory of auth_master didn't exist. I modified the wiki to include that this path has to exist and is not created automatically (ie: /var/run/dovecot). Another question to which I couldn't find the answer in the wiki is whether 'lda' should be added to the protocols line in the configuration, such that it becomes: protocols pop3 pop3s imap imaps lda Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt
