[olug] Postfix/dovecot

"smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth" ... two questions.

1) As you have it written that's a relative path, and that's not good.  (Okay, that's not a question.)

2) Do you have a section in your dovecot.conf that looks like this?

service auth {
   unix_listener /vmail/passwd {
     user = postfix
     group = postfix
     mode = 0660
   }
   user = vmail
}

In my case, my Dovecot will create a socket at "/vmail/passwd" that 
postfix can access to do its authentications.  Your "unix_listener" 
parameter would need to specifiy "private/auth" (or whatever that needs 
to become so the path's not relative).  In your case, you might need to 
change the "user = vmail" to something like "user = dovecot".
