Hi.
I'm using SMTP auth with Exim authenticating against Dovecot's auth socket. My (excellent) SMTP test tool "swaks" (http://jetmore.org/john/code/#swaks) tries multiple auth mechanismus consecutively which leads to the following message in Dovecot's log file:
Error: auth(default): BUG: Authentication client gave a PID 6738 of existing connection
That probably means that the Exim code creates a second connection. Or possibly closes the old one and then immediately creates a new one so that dovecot-auth doesn't notice that the old connection had yet died.
In any case this could be fixed by having Exim use a single connection for the entire life time of the process..
