Dovecot-auth causing high CPU</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>I've tried even to strace the "dovecot-auth -w" processes that
are "stuck" , after launching 'strace -p $PID', it doesnt shows anything,
maybe those process are stuck in some system call hanging from a long
time.<BR><BR>Even after enabling a more verbose logging of dovecot, it doesnt
show any error, when those process are stuck the dovecot daemon accepts
pop3\imap connections\authentications .<BR><BR>Any idea on how to fix this
issue?<BR><BR>Best Regards<BR>--<BR><B>Cecconello Stefano</B><BR></DIV>

dovecot</FONT></DIV>
