[Dovecot] hanging imap... and users getting other users' emails!

[Josh Burley]

I've just switched to ldap.

But, when this problem was occurring (don't know if it is still), it was 
set up with userdb = passwd, and passwd = pam. But, our passwd only has 
none of our users in it (I don't really understand the use of this in 
the PAM context).

What mail-settings do you mean?

It's breaking randomly, yes.

login_preocess_per_connection is commented out. What is the default? 
I'll change this to "yes" now.
