Hi

Still running 1.0 stable (an old release i know but until i see more stable
reports on beta7 i will hold out).

repeated lines of this.

i restarted it

Apr 16 08:38:04 Info: Dovecot v1.0-stable starting up

and now it seems ok.

anyone got a monitor script for watching the dovecot daemon and send a start
if it dies?

Mark
