Shutting down Dovecot doesn't shut down deliver, since it's called by Postfix.
However, if you use its SASL, that's not entirely true if you're relying on normal message injection methods (smtpd), postfix will bail.

But this I feel is (if it can be really called an error at all) postfix's failure, not Dovecots.
