imapsecured, pop3secured are already present.

Yes

And by the way "smtpsecured" is not described in the update.

The dovecot-auth problem seems solved by your tip but I can not send mails anyway.

Dec 13 12:27:30 mail postfix/smtpd[23426]: warning: xxx.pool.mediaWays.net[77.181.ww.xx]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: UGFzc3dvcmQ6

After enabling debug in dovecot.conf the logs revealed the following:

Dec 13 12:42:00 auth(default): Info: ldap(itsok@domain.de,77.181.xx.xx): bind search: base=o=domains,dc=domain,dc=de filter=(&(objectClass=mailUser)(accountStatus=active)(enabledService=mail)(enabledService=smtpsecured)(|(mail=itsok@domain.de)(&(enabledService=shadowaddress)(shadowAddress=itsok@domain.de))))

Dec 13 12:42:02 auth(default): Info: client out: FAIL    2    user=itsok@domain.de

Seem's curious while receiving mails works...

Found the problem: auth searchs for "enabledService=securesmtp" in LDAP but this service is not set anywhere. Seems that this was not used before. After adding this attribute sending mails works.

After enabling debug in dovecot.conf the logs revealed the following:

Could you please post all related log in /var/log/dovecot.log?

I will analyze the other problem with www-data later.

Dec 13 11:59:44 deliver(www-data): Error: sieve: failed to stat user's sieve script: stat(/var/vmail/sieve//www-data/dovecot.sieve) failed: Permission denied (euid=33(www-data) egid=33(www-data) missing +x perm: /var/vmail) (using global script path in stead)

Seems this mail is delivered to web server user (www-data).
Since 'www-data' is not a virtual mail user, there's not mailbox for it, and this is correct.

Dec 13 12:05:14 mail postfix/smtpd[23043]: warning: when SASL type is "dovecot", SASL path "dovecot-auth" should be a socket pathname

In Postfix main.cf, you have this setting:

smtpd_sasl_path = dovecot-auth

Change it to below setting and restart postfix will fix it:

smtpd_sasl_path = ./dovecot-auth

After the upgrade and the changes described in the wiki first all seem's ok, receiving mails is fine.
But then I tried mail sending and got the following error:

Dec 13 12:05:14 mail postfix/smtpd[23043]: warning: when SASL type is "dovecot", SASL path "dovecot-auth" should be a socket pathname

Sending mails fails. And I do not see the error because the authentification part was not touched...

Can you please help me again?

Finally I found another error:

Dec 13 11:59:44 deliver(www-data): Error: sieve: failed to stat user's sieve script: stat(/var/vmail/sieve//www-data/dovecot.sieve) failed: Permission denied (euid=33(www-data) egid=33(www-data) missing +x perm: /var/vmail) (using global script path in stead)

Dec 13 11:59:44 deliver(www-data): Error: sieve: failed to open script /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve

This occurs when the awstats cron job tries to send mail to a mailaccount which had have working sieve rules before upgrade.

I'll upgrade the system during the next hours and if I encounter some errors I'll be back ;-)

when I follow the tutorial of upgrading dovecot under Debian lenny the upgrade process wants to upgrade several other packages.
Because there is no hint in the tutorial I aborted upgrade.
So my question is if it's ok to upgrade also all other packages?
