Tonight I source-upgraded a FreeBSD system from i386 6.3p5 to i386 6.4-R. I have postfix 2.5.5 and dovecot 1.1.7 installed with postfix using dovecot for SASL and dovecot LDA for mailbox delivery. After installing 6.4-R, postfix refused to work until I recompiled and reinstalled both it and dovecot. Dovecot itself (i.e., the IMAP server) worked fine. Postfix worked fine if I set smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=no and defer_transports=dovecot, effectively preventing postfix from using any dovecot bits. Examples of the logged errors: Before reinstalling anything: postfix/pipe[36617]: fatal: get_service_attr: unknown group: vmail postfix/qmgr[36614]: warning: private/dovecot socket: malformed response private/dovecot is the socket dovecot creates for SMTP AUTH. After recompiling and reinstalling just postfix: postfix/pipe[36755]: warning: unexpected end-of-input from dovecot socket while reading input attribute name postfix/pipe[36755]: warning: deliver_request_get: error receiving common attributes postfix/smtpd[36771]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms This doesn't happen reliably so I've had little luck finding a cause. Searching on the error logs didn't yield any useful results. Does anyone else experience this? Does anyone know the cause? postconf -n and other configuration details available on request.
