It's set to how dovecot.conf came: #shutdown_clients = yes If that indicates the default it is enabled. But it didn't work. The thread I started wasn't so much about killing these children with a shutdown, anyway. It was about the behavior that these login processes stayed there for more than five hours after a dictionary attack that took only a few minutes before they eventually died away slowly.
