Good Afternoon

I´m really new at this and i don´t know if i´m posting at the right place.

My problem is that our Dovecot IMAP is stopping from time to time with 
no info in the log, i just realize about this when our support person 
call me saying that the whatsup monitor is showing the IMAP4 process 
down. I can figure about this too by trying to get in our webmail Horde 
and i cannot login.

Here i post my Dovecot -n command i´ll appreciate any help.
