hi...

i've configured sendmail 8.13 with cyrus imap 2.1 on my fedora core 3
i set them both up to work with smtpauth and saslauthd
it's worked fine for about a month and then it started to give this error : ( taken from the /var/log/maillog )

Oct 16 17:32:48 shumer sendmail[27463]: j9GFWi1Z027463: from=<galushka@gmail.com>, size=1416, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<98db013f0510160834k4f068fa7g8c7744e676e0e794@mail.gmail.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=qproxy.gmail.com [72.14.204.199]
Oct 16 17:32:48 shumer sendmail[27467]: j9GFWi1Z027463: SYSERR(root): makeconnection_ds: unsafe domain socket
/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp

i tried cleaning the mqueue dir - didn't help.
checked that the /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp is there - it's there , and the permissions are 777 ( srwxrwxrwx )
checked that the imapd.conf has
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap - which matches the path of the lmtp
checked that in cyrus.conf the line is :
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1


i say again - it worked and i did nothing, changed nothing at all.
there is little about this subject in google.com or google.com/linux

any help will be great

Aside from the log, is there actually anything that isn't working?

sorry for not making myself clear.

the sendmail doesn't forward the mail to cyrus. and when i checked it this is the error in the errorlog, which is the same as in the reject mail i got from sendmail back from where i sent the original message.

any tips ?
