Thanks Steve... It was the epel amavis package. Also, I'll be doing
another server like this in the next week or so and will try to see
what/when this gets created. It might not get created until some
particular service is started. I am running SSL connections and I think
that plays into it. So far, that file has 0 bytes along with a bunch of
others there.

And, good to know that at least it appears that the CentOS packages are
all fine. And now to go read the wiki! :)

maybe try
rpm -qf /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
to see if it belongs to an rpm.
You could then rpm -V that package if it exists.

OK... I found it.

In Dovecot master.conf, I enabled smtp-auth. Under that, it seems you
must set the user to postfix or each time you restart dovecot the auth
file is recreated and is owned by root... resulting in the failure. I
looked for the file earlier and it was not there. It seems to have
appeared due to enabling smtp-auth, but I did make other edits before
restarting the service.

Inside of service auth I have the following:

# Postfix smtp-auth
unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth {
mode = 0666
user = postfix
}

I am considering adding group = postfix as well as the file is now group
root.

Thanks,
John Hinton
