We're using the SQLite backend for authentication of Postfix SASL. When the db is replaced we HUP dovecot to close and reopen its connection. During this time it appears the socket file is removed and Postfix rejects the authentication attempt. From the logs:

Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx dovecot: dovecot: SIGHUP received - reloading configuration Jun 3 00:23:02 xxx postfix/smtpd[14746]: warning: SASL: Connect to private/auth failed: Connection refused

I think this is fixed in v2.0. Hmm. Probably should try tomorrow to be sure. :)
