| I too have this problem. It started when I updated from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 this morning. |

I'm getting the same issue here after upgrading to ubuntu 11.10
I get this error in the error log:
2011-10-15 16:08:14 master: Error: service(auth): command startup failed, throttling
I didn't use the distribution config file when upgrading. I converted it using the documentation found here: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Upgrading/2.0
That doesn't seem to work still.
I found this command, but it doesn't help me to much:
$ doveadm auth -x service=imap -x lip=127.0.0.1 john
Password:
doveadm(root): Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server. my pid=21412, input bytes=0
doveadm(root): Fatal: Couldn't connect to auth socket |

I fixed mine.
try:
$ apt-get install dovecot-mysql
$ service dovecot restart
$ server saslauthd restart |

| Check the contents of /etc/pam.d/smtp and /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf or post them here (with the passwords redacted). |

| Also the command 'postconf -n', and the contents of your /etc/postfix/main.cf. If you have postfix running, 'postconf -n' will show the configuration it's currently using. main.cf contains the configuration postfix will load when you start it. |

| Did anyone check their logs? Including if you setup vmail, the /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log |
