I don't know how to ask this question because I've gone through hundreds of lines of configuration code. I'm trying to setup a mail server on my Ubuntu box. I found a tutorial here http://www.exratione.com/2012/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1204-postfix-dov... which uses postfix, dovecot, mysql, php, apache.
I've been fighting with Dovecot and Postfix for nearly 3 days now - I need some help!...
It seems Dovecot is not generating the private/auth file required for connections.
Mail.log
Code:
Sep 6 21:55:55 suncoastshores postfix/smtpd[11278]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory

I am having an issue with one of my Postfix/Dovecot mail servers and I'm unsure how to fix the problem. I will try to explain it in detail, here it goes:
I have an Ubuntu server setup using Virtual hosting with Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL. We have one domain setup as a virtual domain, for this example I am going to use mail.example.com. Under that domain we have one email address.

i have been spending countless hours on this and now i figured id come to the 'internet' for help.
I have installed a new install of postfix + dovecot + mysql.
Right now, i am able to receive email from my one mapped account 'sean@domain.com'

I have postfix and dovecot installed on CentOS 6 (linode) along with MySQL.
I am setting up a mail server: Dovecot and Postfix with MySQL support and Postfixadmin. Spend literally all day trying to figure it out, but I'm still unable to neither send nor receive any emails.
To my knowledge, I have configured everything correctly, so either there is another problem, or my knowledge isn't good enough.
Looking at your postconf -n output, it looks like postfix isn't configured to use dovecot for SASL auth.
I have installed postfix with dovecot for my mail server. Both dovecot and Postfix seem to be operational when I Telnet to them.
