Sorry so long to get back to you, got caught up in the holidays and it 
does not happen very often. But still happening, yes, Dovecot is running 
and restarts fine, then all good again on this BO server. I have found 
since that saslauthd does not need to be restarted, I just restart 
Dovecot and all starts working again immediately. I will examine 
processes next time it happens, is this something that can happen when a 
lot of users check mail at same time? Seems to be mostly in the morning 
when you would think people are firing up their email, but has happened 
other times of the day.
