Well, that's not horribly often. :) I guess you don't know if it gave this same error previously also? > Would it help if I set mail_executable > = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/gdbhelper /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap, > should this happen again?

No. But after thinking about it, I guess it's better not to die if the signal happens. This should fix it: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/12230cb6931b And that also gives me an idea: Looks like it's possible to find out what process sent a signal. Dovecot should be logging the PID and UID of the sender whenever receiving a signal.
