* Dovecot must have been started without core dump size limit
being too low. Run ulimit -c unlimited before starting Dovecot.

coredumpsize 0 kbytes
limit coredumpsize unlimited

ok, so where's this go now? if in mail.conf,
dovecot -n
# 2.0.alpha1: /data/mail/Conf/dovecot/dovecot.conf
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file
/data/mail/Conf/dovecot/conf.d/mail.conf line 21: Unknown setting:
mail_drop_priv_before_exec
* Linux: Make sure /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains a proper
value. By giving an absolute path to it (e.g. /var/core/%p) the users
don't need a home directory.
cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
core
but @ startup,
tail -f /var/log/{dove*/dove*,messages}
==> /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log <==
