Hi all, on my system ("AIX 6.1" 64bit) after "doveadm stop" there are some processes still alive: vmail 3997878 1 0 16:54:26 - 0:00 dovecot/imap dovenull 4915236 1 0 16:54:26 - 0:00 dovecot/imap-login root 6029330 1 0 16:54:20 - 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params root 6553702 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/log vmail 6881392 1 0 16:54:21 - 0:00 dovecot/imap dovecot 7078140 1 0 16:52:23 - 0:00 dovecot/auth dovenull 7733396 1 0 16:54:20 - 0:00 dovecot/imap-login root 7864502 1 0 16:54:21 - 0:00 dovecot/auth -w root 9240650 1 0 16:54:20 - 0:00 dovecot/config dovecot 12189718 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil After some minutes I can see less than before: root 6029330 1 0 16:54:20 - 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params root 6553702 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/log dovecot 12189718 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil But these seem to be permanent. Restarting dovecot there is an error sometimes logged: Sep 9 17:08:17 Buckow local3:err|error dovecot: master: Error: service(auth): Socket already exists: /var/run/dovecot/auth-login And - some restarts later: root 3997884 1 0 17:07:21 - 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params root 6029330 1 0 16:54:20 - 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params root 6226004 13172840 0 17:14:04 - 0:00 dovecot/config root 6553702 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/log dovecot 6881398 1 0 17:06:13 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil root 7733432 13172840 0 17:14:04 - 0:00 dovecot/log root 7864522 1 0 17:06:13 - 0:00 dovecot/log dovecot 7995430 13172840 0 17:14:04 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil dovecot 9240682 1 0 17:11:20 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil root 9306298 1 0 17:13:28 - 0:00 dovecot/ssl-params root 9371814 1 0 17:11:20 - 0:00 dovecot/log dovecot 12189718 1 0 16:52:01 - 0:00 dovecot/anvil root 13172840 1 0 17:14:04 - 0:00 /usr/sbin/dovecot What's wrong? -- Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Gr??en A.

What does "dovecot --build-options" say?
