Hi, I have installed Dovecot 1.0.0 on a FreeBSD6.0 machine with Exim 4.66 and Vexim 1.5. When I restart the machine, dovecot does not load properly. The logs of /var/log/maillog are as: May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: child 11478 (login) returned error 89 May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: child 11479 (login) returned error 89
When I kill it and then start it, then it starts working properly. /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: auth(default): Killed with signal 15 /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: Killed with signal 15 /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:13 lhr dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.0 starting up /var/log/maillog:May 8 09:33:13 lhr dovecot: auth-worker(default): mysql: Connected to 127.0.0.1 (exim)
