Anyway, the reason for this post is that I have seen these pop up in my logs, and on one of my mailheads there were some 50 lines of this

dovecot: 2008-10-26 09:33:54 Error: auth(default): BUG: Authentication client gave a PID 15661 of existing connection
Does it log anything else than this? Are you running multiple Dovecots? Post your dovecot -n output?
I am using Debian lenny/sid on amd64,
Is it a standard Debian/kernel.org kernel or have you done some modifications? This isn't a virtual machine?
Ive been fighting with the pop3 part of dovecot for the past 2 weeks, and I have tried and changed so many things that to be honest Im feeling a little bonkers and if you see anything obviously wrong in my config feel free to chastise me.
The error does not happen every time no, but I have been clearing the log file a lot because this system has been unstable, having high loads, running out of auth connections, I have been having chdir (/mail/mail/usersmaildir) blocked for 12 seconds, I have seen my max connectiosn for auth workers I think it was run out, that was when I had a 511 load.
I didnt know if i was under some kind of pop3 connection attack or what. Im dreading having to tell my boss that we need to go back to courier pop3... UGH.
I was able to have a single P4 3ghz server be our pop3 server, now one quad core double the ram box running dovecot as the pop3 server is falling over, am I just doing something totally wrong here? /frustrated ramble ramble....
