Timed out after a.
And you say "domain name", what about IP address? If the problem is
with
DNS resolving?
Didn't try that, one more data point for next time.
The only odd thing that I noticed when I went to stop and restart the
Dovecot process is that only one dovecot-auth process was running,
normally I see two processing running. After quitting Dovecot and
starting it again, I saw two dovecot-auth processes start up, and
then
I was able to get mail just fine.
Was one of them "dovecot -w" process? Anyway the number of dovecot-
auth
processes shouldn't really make a difference.
May be unrelated then, just something I noticed. I just start Dovecot
with a '/usr/local/sbin/dovecot' at startup, I'm not sure what the -w
flag does? It doesn't seem to be an option in my version:
Usage: dovecot [-F] [-c <config file>] [-p] [-n] [-a]
[--version] [--build-options] [--exec-mail <protocol> [<args>]]
Fatal: Unknown argument: -w
