[Dovecot] login process died too early

[Tom Ray [Lists]]

I've run into this problem. It's trying to start a process that you 
don't have set up properly. If it looks for a password file that has a 
bad path, or it can load modules, like PAM, it will die as soon as it is 
spawned. Double check dovecot.conf.
