dovecot - Apr 2005 - error: received another "not listening" notification

Hi,

i got a problem with dovecot 0.99.14 - after a while of checking pop3
periodically, the dovecot-auth process gets killed. Some clients, e.g.
outlook (express), then requests for reentering the password. When this
happens, i see something like this in th elogs:

Apr 28 14:53:45 marge dovecot: child 25819 (auth) killed with signal 4
Apr 28 14:55:09 marge dovecot: login: received another "not listening"
notification (if you can't login at all, see src/lib/fdpass.c)

Any idea, how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Andreas Goertz.

Hi,

seems that a solution is to set the login_process_per_connection to
'yes' in dovecot.conf. Since we did this, no such error occured. Thanks
anyway...
