I have installed Dovecot 1.0.0 on a FreeBSD6.0 machine with Exim 4.66 and Vexim 1.5. When I restart the machine, dovecot does not load properly. The logs of /var/log/maillog are as: May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: child 11478 (login) returned error 89 May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found May 8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: child 11479 (login) returned error 89
When I kill it and then start it, then it starts working properly.
This sounds like a startup script deletes /var/run/dovecot/ directory after Dovecot is started.
