"It" means what? kill -TERM `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid` ? That doesn't kill imap-login processes. > I don't know if there's anything that Dovecot > can do about the "Address already in use" problem.

I've checked few init.d/dovecot scripts and there is no imap-login killing in these, so I assumed that sending TERM to master causes master to kill it's childs but again - that's not the case here since dovecot process dies while imap-login is still alive. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/
