The mail-stack-delivery package includes a dovecot auth file - 01-mail-stack-delivery.auth.
This is installed to /etc/dovecot/auth.d; however
1) dovecot 2.x by default does not try_include files in this directory
2) the auth configuration does not work with dovecot 2.x
I think the auth configuration can now be included in 01-mail-stack-delivery.conf as detailed below:
# Authentication configuration
auth_mechanisms = plain login
service auth {
# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth {
mode = 0660
user = postfix
group = postfix
}
}
With the package in its current state postfix cannot SASL authenticate against dovecot.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10

ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-server 3.0.4

ProcEnviron:

SourcePackage: dovecot
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
SRU Information:
IMPACT: Attempting to send email to postfix using STARTTLS connections against the default mail-stack-delivery package fails as dovecot has not created a sasl authentication socket for postfix to communicate over.
FIX: Add updated configuration to 01-mail-stack-delivery.conf (see original bug report) for dovecot to ensure that supported auth mechanisms are enabled and the socket for postfix is created. |

TEST CASE:
1) Install mail-stack-delivery on a fresh server install
- Access Internet site option and ensure server is configured with a FQDN
2) Restart dovecot carefully i.e. stop dovecot; pause; start dovecot (bug 873390)
3) Configure a mail client (i.e. thunderbird) with an account on the mail server:
- Ensure outgoing mail configuration uses STARTTLS with a valid username/password on the mail server
- Ensure inbound server configuration uses IMAP with SSL/TLS with a valid username/password
- Accept certificates (they are self signed)
4) Send an email to the account on the mail server using the mail server:
- Send will fail with the following error in /var/log/mail.log
Oct 14 13:58:14 mercury postfix/smtpd[11876]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/dovecot-auth failed: No such file or directory
Oct 14 13:58:14 mercury postfix/smtpd[11876]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
Oct 14 13:58:15 mercury postfix/master[11834]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 11876 exit status 1
Oct 14 13:58:15 mercury postfix/master[11834]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
With the fix in place the mail is sent successfully and should appear in the associated inbox.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Limited - this function is already broken in oneiric and the change is relatively isolated.
