Hi,
I've just had a funny (but not amusing) incident after boot-up on a
Dovecot server. rpc.mountd (NFS server) grabbed port 995 (POP3-SSL), and
the whole Dovecot lot (POP3-SSL, IMAP-SSL, IMAP) refused to start up,
rather than just letting POP3-SSL fail with "address in use".
May I request to kindly consider letting Dovecot services fail
individually rather than all of them, at least optionally?
TIA,
--
