[Dovecot] Dovecot Crash

[Horn Wijaya]

Exactly.... That's what make me so confused.
If it's kernel, then I would know that it's not dovecot.

But then Raymond has pointed me to the right direction, of finding exactly
same messages with other applications too.  

So I man fstat and remember that I couldn't rotatelog my dovecot log, so
yup, I saw 2.6GB dovecotinfo file.

Solved right away.

But I wonder why dovecot would die and defunct and stop listening to pop and
imap port because of that.

Thanks.

Do you know if it was really Dovecot or something else that wrote these
messages? Since it has "dovecot" prefix it looks like it would come from
Dovecot, but it doesn't look like Dovecot error message at all. I was
just thinking that if it is Dovecot, that error message should be
improved.
