For me it looks odd because the auth-userdb is defined as

Why are you trying to put this under /usr/local? /usr/local/var is not a
usual place to put things on Unix systems: generally speaking programs
installed under /usr/local use /var just like those installed under
/usr.
Ah this would explain why always /var/run is used.
service auth {
unix_listener auth-userdb {
mode = 0777
This probably shouldn't be world-readable.
I just set world-writeable to see which file under /var/run or
/usr/local/var/run is affected. So was just for testing purposes.
user = vmail
group = vmail
}

I grepped through all the configfiles but could not find the "wrong"
path from the error message above.
Probably your Dovecot binaries are built with a default base_dir of
/var/run/dovecot. What do the following give you?
doveconf -d base_dir (as root)
doveconf base_dir (as root)
doveconf base_dir (as vmail:vmail)
Would it might be a "fix" to symlink /usr/local/var/run/dovecot to
/var/run/dovecot ? Or would that break something with dovecot?
Yesterday I "fixed" it with a symlink. But I think better doing as you
described and use /var/run/
I will remove my definition this evening and see if everything works
fine if only using /var/run
I just thought I "have" to use /usr/local/var/run because /usr/local is
the prefix while building dovecot from source.
It probably won't break anything, but why don't you just use
/var/run/dovecot in the first place and take that base_dir definition
out of dovecot.conf?
Ben
Thanks for your help I will try this evening
