"Shutting down" means that Dovecot really is being shut down or
restarted. Is this not an expected restart? Does it happen at the same
time always? Maybe it's some cron job.
the server ran without problem until i upgraded from 1.0.rc15 to 1.0.15.
after the upgrade i was forced to enhance the proc.sys.fs.inotify.max_user_instances = 1024 because i had error messages about "Inotify instance limit for user exceeded"
The previous version probably didn't have inotify enabled.
my question is: does the upgrade triggered a new way of communication between clients and server that exacerbates the problem of dropped connections from the DMZ server?
I think it's unlikely.
