Bug Description
When installing mail-stack-
Because of this, when trying to do STARTTLS, the connection is interrupted and a message appears in the logs:
Oct 7 22:30:11 nns32-postfix postfix/
Oct 7 22:30:11 nns32-postfix postfix/
Oct 7 22:30:12 nns32-postfix postfix/
Oct 7 22:30:12 nns32-postfix postfix/
This is because SASL authentication through dovecot is enabled but there is no socket (dovecot wasn't restarted).
root@nns32-
smtpd_sasl_
smtpd_sasl_path = private/
root@nns32-
ls: cannot access /var/spool/
After manually restarting dovecot, the socket gets created and everything is ok
root@nns32-
dovecot start/running, process 9756
root@nns32-
srw-rw---- 1 postfix postfix 0 2011-10-07 22:32 /var/spool/
I guess this will not happen if dovecot is already configured to open that socket BEFORE installing mail-stack-

Reproduced on natty; oneiric also has the same issue.
Marking 'Confirmed' with importance of 'Low' - this only impacts on first install and just requires a restart to resolve.
