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
