[Bug 590408] Re: dovecot dies with "Fatal: Socket already exists: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth"

[Akagi]

Hello,

Ok, you are right. There is indeed an entry in /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01
-dovecot-postfix.auth.

Sadly this entry has no effect as long as the auth default/socket
listen/client entry is not activated like this:

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain login
  socket listen {
    client {
      #path = /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth
      #mode = 0660
      #user = postfix
      #group = postfix
    }
  }

Now with the comments the values of  /etc/dovecot/auth.d/01-dovecot-
postfix.auth are used.

IMHO this is maybe not error anymore, but an ugly behaviour.

Best regards!
