在遵循debuntu.org提供的指南（ http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-virtual-emails-accounts-with-postfix-and-dovecot/ ）这是非常有用的，我立即开始有问题SASLauthentication。 是什么引起我在mail.log中查看以下消息是thunderbird上的一条错误消息，声明“Thunderbird无法find您的电子邮件帐户的设置”。 在mail.log中重复的错误如下所示：
Jan 6 14:16:45 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22109]: connect from unknown[192.168.2.1] Jan 6 14:16:45 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22109]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Jan 6 14:16:45 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22109]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Jan 6 14:16:46 Jesse-Server postfix/master[8209]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 22109 exit status 1 Jan 6 14:16:46 Jesse-Server postfix/master[8209]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Jan 6 14:17:46 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22134]: connect from localhost[127.0.0.1] Jan 6 14:17:46 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22134]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory Jan 6 14:17:46 Jesse-Server postfix/smtpd[22134]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms Jan 6 14:17:47 Jesse-Server postfix/master[8209]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 22134 exit status 1 Jan 6 14:17:47 Jesse-Server postfix/master[8209]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling Jan 6 14:18:26 Jesse-Server postfix/anvil[22112]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for (smtp:192.168.2.1) at Jan 6 14:16:45 Jan 6 14:18:26 Jesse-Server postfix/anvil[22112]: statistics: max connection count 1 for (smtp:192.168.2.1) at Jan 6 14:16:45 Jan 6 14:18:26 Jesse-Server postfix/anvil[22112]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Jan 6 14:16:45 这激起我寻找私人/身份validation ，但正如你可以看到下面，没有这样的文件存在…
root@Jesse-Server:/home/clucky# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/private/auth ls: cannot access /var/spool/postfix/private/auth: No such file or directory
我想知道的是我的私人/授权文件夹在哪里？ 我是否使用了错误版本的dovecot？ 在一个无关的说明中，当我键入服务dovecot重新启动到terminal它说：
stop: Unknown instance: dovecot start/running, process 9394
这里是postfix标签main.cf的configuration：

这里是dovecot.conf ：
protocols = imaps mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir ## uncomment this if you already have email from ## courier for instance. #namespace private { # separator = . # prefix = INBOX. # inbox = yes #} ## change section "protocol lda" to: protocol lda { # Address to use when sending rejection mails. postmaster_address = [email protected] log_path = /var/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log # Hostname to use in various parts of sent mails, eg. in Message-Id. # Default is the system's real hostname. #hostname = # Support for dynamically loadable plugins. mail_plugins is a space separated # list of plugins to load. #mail_plugins = #mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda # Binary to use for sending mails. #sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail # UNIX socket path to master authentication server to find users. auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master # Enabling Sieve plugin for server-side mail filtering # handy for storing spam in their folders mail_plugins = cmusieve global_script_path = /var/vmail/globalsieverc } ## in section auth default ## change : mechanisms = plain login ## comment out "passdb pam" ## and make sure the following is in ## to look for users in the DB passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf } ## and add this so dovecot does not deal with uid/gid ## we use uid and gid 5000 for everybody userdb static { args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n allow_all_users=yes } ## next make sure the section "socket listen" looks like this ## so dovecot and postfix work happily together socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0600 user = vmail # User running Dovecot LDA #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group } client { # The client socket is generally safe to export to everyone.

任何帮助将不胜感激，如果你需要更多的错误/configuration，不要犹豫，问。 先进的谢谢你！
操作系统：Linux Ubuntu 12.04
/ var / spool / postfix / private / auth应该由dovecot创build。
你重新启动鸽舍的日志应该会提供更多的信息。
在我头上，应该logging到/var/log/mail.*，也许是/var/log/daemon.log
