I'm testing out dovecot/tls/openldap(via portunus). It seems to work fine. I can access Maildir with Thunderbird as expected. However according to the logs, auth-worker crashes when slapd closes: Apr 04 22:11:56 silver slapd[1745983]: conn=1054 op=1 UNBIND Apr 04 22:11:56 silver slapd[1745983]: conn=1054 fd=14 closed Apr 04 22:11:56 silver slapd[1745983]: conn=1053 op=2 UNBIND Apr 04 22:11:56 silver slapd[1745983]: conn=1053 fd=13 closed Apr 04 22:11:56 silver dovecot[2083465]: auth-worker: Fatal: master: service(auth-worker): child 2084984 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Apr 04 22:11:56 silver dovecot[2083465]: auth: Fatal: master: service(auth): child 2084981 killed with signal 11 (core dumped) Here is the configuration.
