dovecot 0.99 still (RHEL4), I'm sorry to say. The config is for mbox's to live on the user's home disk. If the user tries to make an imap connection when his home disk is unmounted, various permission denied messages are logged, as expected, but then the imap process seems to hang around instead of aborting. The result is that eventually the imap process limit is reached, and even those users whose home disks are correctly mounted, cant get at their mail.
Check with strace what they are doing? I can't really think of
anything why they would hang.
