Jan 29 14:30:34 smtp dovecot: Dovecot starting up Jan 29 14:30:34 smtp dovecot: dovecot startup succeeded Jan 29 14:30:36 smtp dovecot: Auth process died too early - shutting down Jan 29 14:30:36 smtp dovecot: child 3517 (auth) returned error 127 Jan 29 14:30:36 smtp imap-login: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe

I received this one when using an encrypted private key for SSL. If this is the case, make sure your key is unencrypted (and readable only by root), or, if possible, the password for the private key is placed in an appropriate location.

Usually this happens when you've compiled it with some library that isn't in library path at the time of running it. Try:

ldd /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth

it probably says something about missing libraries.
