Thank you Thomas for opening my eyes on that matter, I fixed that area as bellow and it solved the Postfix problem 100% service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { mode = 0600 user = postfix group = postfix } } Now I only have same old issue with Dovecot only: 2011-08-05 07:52:21 imap(cont...@mydomain.com): Debug: Effective uid=901, gid=12, home=/vmail/mydomain.com/contact 2011-08-05 07:52:21 imap(cont...@mydomain.com): Error: user cont...@mydomain.com: Initialization failed: Initializing mail storage from mail_location setting failed: Unknown mail storage driver maildir 2011-08-05 07:52:21 imap(cont...@mydomain.com): Error: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information. Somehow it doesnt like what I have in mail_location or so... but I tried so many other folders, tried maildir also, error keeps showing, I can login to IMAP but once I do I'm dropped :* BYE Internal error occurred. Refer to server log for more information. Connection closed by foreign host. Thank you again for any oppinion or advice.
