Hi Timo, hi all,

Yes (as default).

>>       root  6553702        1   0 16:52:01      -  0:00 dovecot/log
>>    dovecot 12189718        1   0 16:52:01      -  0:00 dovecot/anvil

No. Some "dovecot/log" and "dovecot/config" processes don't die after
killing "dovecot/ssl-params".

Build options: ioloop=poll ipv6 openssl io_block_size=8192
Mail storages: cydir maildir mbox mdbox raw sdbox shared
SQL drivers:
Passdb: checkpassword ldap pam passwd passwd-file
Userdb: checkpassword ldap(plugin) passwd prefetch passwd-file
