Where were you when everyone said they wanted them killed and no-one but me supported the old behavior? ;) Guess I'll make it configurable. Or maybe alternative kill signal, eg. SIGINT?
Although the reason why I figured that maybe it's a good idea to kill them anyway is because after master is killed, the processes can no longer log anything because all logging went through master.

Seconded! I was happy with killing the master process and then doing "pkill imap; pkill pop3" if I wanted to kill off the sessions too. Also what happens if the master process dies (e.g. runs out file descriptors)? Before, it could be restarted.
Best Wishes, Chris

* Killing dovecot master process now kills all IMAP and POP3 processes also.Does this mean I cannot upgrade dovecot on my production server without all currently logged on users being thrown out? If so they wont like it :-). Could this be configurable ?
Thanks for the great software, Jens
