I am running Dovecot v1.0.rc15 on an OpenBSD 3.9 i386 machine (no

starts up find and runs for a while. After a few hours to a few
days, the server stops sending the CAPABILITY statement when a
client tries to login. I found a few descriptions of this problem
on the web, but no satisfactory resolution.

I think it's usually because dovecot-auth gets stuck, so you should
rather look at what it's doing at the time. Maybe ktrace it (http:// wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing). What passdb and userdb
are you using?
