This weekend I upgraded my OS from FC4 to FC6. At the same time I updated Dovecot from 0.99 to 1.0.0. Now, dovecot periodically shuts off. It will run fine for several hours then just dies. Right now my solution is to run a cron every 5 minutes to see if it?s still running, and if not, re-start it. I?m also having trouble finding any sort of meaningful logs to tell me what?s going on. Where should I start? Thanks in advance! Jon No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.472 / Virus Database: 269.9.2/858 - Release Date: 6/21/2007 1:46 PM
So I got the same suggestion several times, and I upgraded to Dovecot 1.0.1. At 1:27am and again at 5:23am Dovecot stopped running. My cron was able to restart the service in both instances, but how do I debug why this is happening? Thanks!!!

This might cause a lot of problems, so I'll just kill myselfThat's bad and may cause a lot of other (and more subtle) troubles than Dovecot committing suicide. I'f your' using something like "ntpdate" to periodically step the time, do not do that but run an ntp server instead which will gradually skew the clock to keep the system's time accurate.
