The "service doveadm { drop_priv_before_exec=yes }" bit should go into
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.
Append the bit I have quoted into that file and then restart dovecot.
What command is it that you are running with doveadm?
The also run the following commands (as root):
sysctl -w kern.sugid_coredump=1
sysctl -w kern.corefile=/var/coredumps/%U.%N.core
mkdir /var/coredumps
chown -R 1777 /var/coredumps
The next time you get that fatal error, you'll probably find a file in
/var/coredumps/
You can then obtain a backtrace from it:
gdb /usr/local/bin/doveadm /var/coredumps/FILENAME <ENTER>
bt full <ENTER>
Present the output, together with that from 'doveconf -n'.
