I am testing dovecot 2.0.13 and 2.0.14 with qmail-ldap and auth_dovecot patch. If i login to dovecot (pop3/imap) with correct user and password. no problem, I can login immediately. but if I try with nonexistant user, dovecot does not immediate answer, wait for a while and says "Waiting for authentication process to respond." auth_dovecot process remains working in the background. How can I avoid this situation?

If auth_dovecot process keeps running, the bug is in auth_dovecot. I've never looked at it (or probably even heard of it).
