First try deleting everything from Dovecot's base_dir (/var/run/dovecot/ or something). Deleted everythind under that folder. Didn't help...
If that doesn't help, show your doveconf -n output. # 2.0.5: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (4896) # OS: Linux 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 x86_64 CentOS release 5.5 (Final) auth_cache_size = 4 k auth_failure_delay = 5 secs auth_worker_max_count = 800 base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/ first_valid_gid = 16777216 first_valid_uid = 16777216 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/info.log last_valid_gid = 33554431 last_valid_uid = 33554431 listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot/error.log mail_fsync = never mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir passdb { args = cache_key=%u dovecot driver = pam } protocols = imap service auth { user = root vsz_limit = 1 k } service imap-login { process_limit = 800 process_min_avail = 50 service_count = 1 } service imap { process_limit = 4096 vsz_limit = 4 k } ssl_cert =
Also once started, show "ps aux|grep dovecot" output and "strace -tt -p
pidof auth" output for a few seconds.
Strange, but I don't even have dovecot-auth process... :( When starting, Dovecot gives some warnings, but nothing fatal:
# /etc/init.d/dovecot restart Stopping Dovecot Imap: [ OK ] Starting Dovecot Imap: doveconf: Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (4896) Warning: service auth { client_limit=4096 } is lower than required under max. load (4896) [ OK ]
