I have a v1.2.1 installed on my development box waiting for me to tinker with the configuration. On several occasions, I have noticed that all the dovecot processes are listed as "defunct". I don't recall seeing anything significant in the logs the last time I checked. The system is not under any load.

What exactly is "all"? Do you mean just dovecot-auth processes, or do you really mean everything, including imap-login, dovecot-auth, imap, pop3, ..?

If it's only dovecot-auth processes, it's probably a PAM issue. If it's more than dovecot-auth, is everything still anyway working?
