Hi, I've got report about issue when dovecot fails to start and there is no error logged (error goes only to stderr) situation: 1) dovecot is running 2) dovecot is automatically updated to new version (by yum update daemon), after update, dovecot is restarted (it's part of update script) 3) new dovecot fails to start (for whatever reason) result: dovecot not running and no error
