When Dovecot starts up, it logs a line:

Do you see it, or do you see:
Info: Dovecot v1.1.11 starting up (core dumps disabled) .. Did you do it like that kb article said, or did you just try; ulimit -c unlimited [enter] service dovecot start [enter]
in a shell, because the latter won't work in CentOS because of the
way it is setup.
The startup message that Dovecot v1.1.11 and later give removes this
ulimit confusion. If ulimit -c is 0, Dovecot adds the "core dumps
disabled" message at startup. Although I'm now wondering if it should
also check that the limit is some reasonable size, rather than only 0.
