Hello, I wasn't able to find anything about this on the site that could give me a definite answer, but when I start dovecot it dies immediately. The following is left in the logs. dovecot: Oct 06 20:59:30 Info: Dovecot starting up dovecot: Oct 06 20:59:32 Error: Auth process died too early - shutting down pop3-login: Oct 06 20:59:32 Fatal: fd_send(-1) failed: Broken pipe I thought this might have something to do with chrooting so I tried to disable all of that in the configuration. After that did not work I rebuilt dovecot with minimal configure options (compared to what I used originally) and used a stock configuration changing only the certificate locations so that dovecot would not complain about the certificates missing, still no luck and the same error. I've tried using strace on dovecot but it seems like it hardly ever hangs/dies at the same point. I'm trying to run this on a slackware 9.0 linux based machine. Any suggestions?

It should say at least something.. Such as a crash..> I thought this might have something to do with chrooting so I tried to > disable all of that in the configuration.
