[Dovecot] Dovecot Startup error

[kamran arshad]

Hi,
  I have installed Dovecot 1.0.0 on a FreeBSD6.0 machine with Exim 4.66 and Vexim 1.5. When I restart the machine, dovecot does not load properly. The logs of /var/log/maillog are as:
  May  8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: pop3-login: No authentication sockets found
May  8 00:10:32 lhr dovecot: child 11478 (login) returned error 89
May  8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: imap-login: No authentication sockets found
May  8 00:10:34 lhr dovecot: child 11479 (login) returned error 89
  
When I kill it and then start it, then it starts working properly. 
  /var/log/maillog:May  8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: auth(default): Killed with signal 15
/var/log/maillog:May  8 09:33:02 lhr dovecot: Killed with signal 15
