I have a new Scientific Linux 6.1 mail server (dovecot -n below) and am seeing the following in the logs, with no idea what is happening:
--------------------- Dovecot Begin ------------------------
Dovecot was killed, and not restarted afterwards.

/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: - everything being defaults, as far as I can see, apart from these lines:
# Protocols we want to be serving. protocols = imap listen = *, :: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir/ maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes
Is it really expecting an mbox file?
I'm completely bogged down with this - my previous setup was fine, but the old config file doesn't work with this system. Any help and/or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
