I'm not a professional SysAdmin or network admin but have been running my own smtpd using cyrus-SASL for years. I want now to transition to using dovecot-SASL and have difficulty correctly configuring dovecot.
Reading the postfix/dovecot Web pages and following the links, I created /etc/pam.d/dovecot. On the page http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PasswordDatabase/PAM page, under Service Name, I read, "By default Dovecot uses dovecot as the PAM service name, so the configuration is read from /etc/pam.d/dovecot" yet the two examples are for /etc/pam.d/imap ../pop3 and /etc/pam.d/mail. I chose to use the content for /etc/pam.d/dovecot as, passdb { driver = pam args = %s } Is this correct? What else must I do, in addition to changing the line in /etc/postfix/main.cf to read "smtp_sasl_type = dovecot"? I use mbox here so user mail is placed in /var/spool/mail/<username>. Thanks in advance, Rich
