Greetings all, I've got a dovecot server up that works just fine for a few minutes, and then suddenly won't authenticate users. On top of it, it keeps spawning dovecot-auth processes that won't go away. If any one has seen this or knows what's causing it I sure could use some help.
Thanks much.
I've included my relevant config info below
