I'm not a professional SysAdmin or network admin but have been

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?
no idea where you found anything related to PAM since when you are
running already dovecot the authentication works for IMAP/POP3 and you
miss only the postfix integration for SASL
DOVECOT:
# configure backend for postfix sasl-auth
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
POSTFIX:
smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
