Dovecot 2.x unix_listners
- by Matthew Brown
Could somebody be able to explain to me what the various unix_listners do in the Dovecot 2.x configuration (specifically 10-master.conf).
Currently, for postfix to use to deliver mail, I have:
service lmtp {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
}
and for auth I have:
service auth {
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
}
unix_listener auth-userdb {
mode = 0666
user = vmail
}
}
So what does each one specifically do? Also, does somebody know of a resource that can explain the mode setting?
