Hi, in near future planing migrate our E-mail server to new hardware. Decided try dovecot as IMAP and POP3 server. Compiled latest dovecot-1.0.beta8 version on Linux Fedora Core 3 machine (2.6 kernel). Users database are on PostgreSQL server. Everything working fine except some issues.
After some hour of inactivity (POP3 or IMAP) then connecting to check e-mail got this error: invalid I/O fd 8, callback 0x8064d30. Next connection without service restart working fine again but only when in dovecot.conf exsist this option: login_process_per_connection = yes. When "login_process_per_connection = no" , always got "invalid I/O fd 8, callback 0x8064d30" error.
from log file ( in dovecot.conf login_process_per_connection = yes): ...

also have troubles with maildir quota on POP3 module (IMAP works fine):

For this issue i found solution with manual compilation POP3 module: appended dependence -o ../lib/mountpoint.o
