on my system ("AIX 6.1" 64bit) after "doveadm stop" there are some processes still alive:

Do you have shutdown_clients=yes (default)?

After some minutes I can see less than before:

 root  6029330        1   0 16:54:20      -  0:00 dovecot/ssl-params
 root  6553702        1   0 16:52:01      -  0:00 dovecot/log

dovecot 12189718 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil

But these seem to be permanent.

If you kill ssl-params, do the other two processes die too?

What's wrong?

There's probably some problem with Dovecot detecting that process on the other side of pipe has died. What does "dovecot --build-options" say?
