    Help! Dovecot/Postfix Mail Server Setup

    I've been fighting with Dovecot and Postfix for nearly 3 days now - I need some help!...

    It seems Dovecot is not generating the private/auth file required for connections.

    Mail.log
    Code:
    Sep  6 21:55:55 suncoastshores postfix/smtpd[11278]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: No such file or directory
    Sep  6 21:55:55 suncoastshores postfix/smtpd[11278]: fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms
    ls -l /var/spool/postfix/private/
    Code:

    Hostname
    Code:
    hostname
    suncoastshores
    hostname -f
    suncoastshores.suncoastshores.com
    Dovecot Main.cf (snippets)
    Code:
    # SASL parameters
    # ---------------------------------
     
    # Use Dovecot to authenticate.
    smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot
    # Referring to /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
    smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth
    smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
    broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
    smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
    smtpd_sasl_local_domain =
    smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
    
    
    # General host and delivery info
    # ----------------------------------
     
    myhostname = suncoastshores.suncoastshores.com
    myorigin = /etc/hostname
    mydestination = suncoastshores.suncoastshores.com, localhost
    10-master.conf (snippet)
    Code:
      # Postfix smtp-auth
       unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
       mode = 0660
       user = postfix
       group = postfix
      }
    What am I missing? Why won't Dovecot generate the private/auth file?
