[Dovecot] 2.0.5 Error: Timeout waiting for handshake from auth server.

[Robert Fantini]

check your mail log, if you get this:
Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info

then it could be related to this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=566844

if you do have that issue let me know, and I'll look up our notes to
post a work around.
