By default, postfix runs in a chroot under /var/spool/postfix. The path that is defined in smtpd_sasl_path in main.cf is relative to that path. So make sure your SASL server is creating the socket file in the correct place. For example, in my /etc/postfix/main.cf, I have: smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth And in my Dovecot configuration, I have: path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth The file is created by the SASL daemon when its running, and removed when it isn't running.
