Can you run "strace -fF dovecot -F", so it traces the children that die prematurely?
Your trace doesn't show processes that terminate by receiving a certain signal, unfortunately.
I did that, but it's too large to post and I can't send it to you directly. I'm getting my mail rejected as part of a DUL group.
Any suggestions?
[pid 26281] stat64("/usr/local/lib/dovecot/auth/pam.so", 0xbffffcd0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
This seems to indicate that you have set auth_passdb = pam, but without PAM support compiled in so it tries to look it up as module and still doesn't find it.
[pid 26281] send(4, "<18>Nov 3 06:36:26 dovecot-auth"..., 59, 0) = 59
And I think this means it should have written "Unknown passdb type 'PAM'" error message to log file. It didn't get there?
IIRC, configure --help showed pam as a default authentication. Do you need to recompile this '--with-pam' as one of the options? I have been compiling this as: ./configure --enable-debug or ./configure --enable-debug --enable-cyrus-sasl2
