1. Hey Thank you for htis post. Saved us a days of work!!

2. Thank you for posting this information. Without it our mail server would have been down for much longer than it was.

3. Thank you for this.

   Took me a little bit to figure out the error then popped right up to your site via google.

   Squirrelmail was just hanging, with no input then looked in the maillog to find this.

4. What really bugs/bothers is this:
   
[root man1]# service dovecot restart
Stopping Dovecot Imap: [ OK ]
Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ]

yet in /var/log/mail is....

Dec 5 11:34:54 genesis dovecot: pop3-login: pop3-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory
Dec 5 11:34:54 genesis dovecot: child 9852 (login) returned error 127


   .. basically that dovecot can start "OK" yet its not really "ok"

   Thank you for the tip - this really helped ix things quickly!!

5. Thanks!!!!

6. Thanks, saved me time too. Appreciated!

10. Awesome.. thanks – first hit on google search – wasn’t even down 3 minutes!

11. Thanks a lot 🙂

12. YEEESSSS!!!! THANKS!!!!

13. That was easy. Thanks for the post.

14. more kudos here 😉

    seconded gregg, ‘starting:ok’ followed by a down process is lame. sadly i’m still getting:

    Mar 11 17:20:54 rb8 dovecot: Auth process died too early – shutting down
    Mar 11 17:20:54 rb8 dovecot: child 5366 (auth) killed with signal 11
    Mar 11 17:20:54 rb8 dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now

    after upgrading to 5.1…. i had hopes the upgrade would fix that not add a new error

15. Let me add my thanks to this long list! I upgraded to Centos 5 and dovecot crapped out. A google search turned up your page. Awesome work!

22. Thanks! This was just a great troubleshoot!

23. wow – thanks! that saved me heaps of time!!!

24. Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this, definitely made my day otherwise I would have been banging against SELinux trying to figure what voodoo needed.

25. Thanks. Anyone know why this was needed though? What specifically was the change that required more memory for dovecot?

26. Using ispconfig in a virtuozzo linux redhat/centos environment 64 bit. Glad I stumbled across this posting saved me alot of time. Thank you!
