Postfix and Berkley - Its meant to be dovecot Auth

[diablo2nd]

hi, My postfix server is failing authentication due to looking for a berkley db for auth and not finding it.

Strangest thing. in main.cf (Below) is it set to use dovecot for authentication (Is it not)

any ideas would be appreciated.

any log postings would be cool. are all your other systems (dovecot, postfix) working ok? what is the output of:

postconf -a
postconf -A

Thanks, I dont know what the issue was but i got everything working by creating the config file from a default backup.
