Hi,
Thanks. I used monit, and will code something up of that kind - but I
was curious as to whether dovecot had something built in; external
monitoring is a somewhat blunter tool, as you don't get to know exactly
why there was a problem unless you also parse the logs.
Tricky to investigate this kind of issue - it has only happened once,
and I had a few hundred people trying to log in, so no time to start
debugging! But if it recurs I'll be back to ask for guidance...
Many thanks,
David

Seen similar, we use mon¹ for network monitoring, our mon pop3 script
is modified to not only connect, but login, if it cant the trigger
becomes active and if fails again at next check, it alerts engineers
by sms.
Though, I would investigate the core issue, Timo "apparently" fixed
that hung session stuff in 2.0, it was common in 0.x and 1.x series.
