This is what I get when I use the settings shown in the latest
SASL_README doc (as per the link you posted above)
Warning: NOTE: You can get a new clean config file with: doveconf -n >
dovecot-new.conf
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:14: add
auth_ prefix to all settings inside auth {} and remove the auth {}
section completely
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:16:
passdb pam {} has been replaced by passdb { driver=pam }
doveconf: Warning: Obsolete setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:18:
userdb passwd {} has been replaced by userdb { driver=passwd }
if I run doveconf -n to get a clean config I get the following config
(parts not related to SASL removed):
auth_mechanisms = plain login
passdb {
driver = pam
}
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
When I replace the recommended SASL config settings from SASL_README
with the above then dovecot starts without complaint.
Note that the above is for dovecot 2, I am unsure as to whether dovecot
1 will run with the changed settings or not, at a guess it won't. This
may leave you in the unenviable position of having to expand the
SASL_README doc to account for two different major versions of dovecot.
