Thank you very much for replying with an instant solution!
Suggestion for future release: a setting in the configuration to enable/disable the automatic instance_update_now action and/or set the timeout by the user.
In the meanwhile I can use the recompiled version with this code change. Problem solved for me.
Regards, Tijl

How can dovecot be run without writing to /var/lib/dovecot/instances everyday? Is there a configuration setting for this?
Postfix can do this without that added infrastructure.
Could you explain how this can be accomplished with Postfix? At the moment I don't use Postfix (I use Dovecot only to store mail archives) but I'm OK to install it, just for this. Thank you for your advice already!
You'd need to patch src/master/main.c instance_update_now() to remove:
to_instance = timeout_add((3600 * 12 + i_rand_limit(60 * 30)) * 1000, instance_update_now, list);
I'm not quite sure why I wrote such code to update it continuously.
