Now if for whatever reason dovecot is not running, smtpd will also refuse to work, complaining "fatal: no SASL authentication mechanisms".Indeed!I would much prefer it to fall back to "smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no" in that case, so that mail for local recipients can still be received. Is this possible?It's the one problem we're having here as well: When updating dovecot, postfix won't work due to that...
Yes, problem also exists when imap crashes or wrong startup order. -- Eero
