Hmmm, the only errors I see there look like this:

dovecot: Jan 29 16:35:03 Error: uid specified multiple times for jennshinjo

and very occasionally I'll see an NFS error or a "Broken header", but
neither seems to relate to the cram-MD5 problems.

Why not?  Dovecot doesn't use it, and it's already set to logrotate,
so I used it.  I wanted it to be separate from the syslog.
What would you suggest it be called?

Thank you, that seems to have fixed it.

Thank you again, not only for this fix, but for dovecot itself.
It is still far and away the best POP/IMAP server I have found.
