Thank you - Dovecot did mysteriously stop may be 2 other times over the past 2 years or so. Never anything I noticed in /var/log/messages... Would it help if I set mail_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap, should this happen again? I suppose I could expect a lot of spece needed for /tmp/gdbhelper.* files if this doesn't happen for another 6 months... -- Janos Dohanics
