According to the Dovecot 1.x wiki:
'dovecot-auth -w process is an "authentication worker" process. It's used only with some "blocking" authentication databases, such as MySQL.'
thank you Darren Pilgrim and what should I do to not let dovecot -w start? i want to keep one dovecot-auth . Is it set in the dovecot.conf ?

You can't make it not start--it's necessary for certain authentication databases. Even if you could, why are you worrying about this? If you really don't want it, you'll need to switch to a different authentication database. I'm pretty sure PostgreSQL doesn't require an authentication worker, but can't verify that as I no longer use Dovecot 1.x.
ok thanks for your answer . I'will be using Dovecot 2.x myself soon after i get 1.x .
thanks
