[Bug 874135] [NEW] mail-stack-delivery does not install postfix->dovecot sasl authentication with dovecot 2.x

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The mail-stack-delivery package includes a dovecot auth file - 01-mail-
stack-delivery.auth.

This is installed to /etc/dovecot/auth.d; however

1) dovecot 2.x by default does not try_include files in this directory
2) the auth configuration does not work with dovecot 2.x

I think the auth configuration can now be included in 01-mail-stack-
delivery.conf as detailed below:

# Authentication configuration
auth_mechanisms = plain login

service auth {
  # Postfix smtp-auth
  unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth {
    mode = 0660
    user = postfix
    group = postfix
  }
}

With the package in its current state postfix cannot SASL authenticate
against dovecot.
