If you're still interested and you can (at least sometimes) reproduce
this error:
See if this helps at all:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/2b7af3a16521
If not, apply http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.0/rev/e9139f74c451 and
set:
service director {
executable = director -D
}
Then gather the error/warning/debug logs from all directors around the
time when it's not working correctly. Be sure that the error and debug
messages go to the same log file so that the message ordering is
preserved.

We're looking at migration to a director config soon but I'd like to see this resolved first. Anything we can do do help? -K

[Dovecot] restarting director
Hi all, anyone having any problems with restarting the director? Every time I bring down 1 of the director servers, reboot it, or just restart it for whatever reason, im seeing all kinds of problems. Dovecot generally always gives me this error: Jan 20 22:49:55 imapdirector3 dovecot: director: Error: Director 194.109.26.173:444/right disconnected before handshake finished It seems the directors cant agree on forming a ring anymore, and this may be leading to problems with clients. I mostly have to resort to bringing down all directors, and restarting them all at once. Not really a workable solution. As an example, last night for a few hours we were getting complaints from customers about being disconnected, and the only obvious error in the log was the one above, after one of my colleagues had to restart a director because of some changes in the syslog daemon. After I restarted all directors withing a few seconds of each other, all complaints disappeared. Timo, i know ive asked similar questions before, but the answer just eludes me. If I have 3 director servers, and need to take one down and restart it, what is the proper method to reconnect the ring? In practice, I cant seem to work it out and I mostly end up with the above error until I just restart them all. Not fun with 20.000 clients connected. Cor
