Dovecot Issues on New WHM Version

[PCZero]

Starting almost immediately after the upgrade to the new version of WHM I started getting numerous email error messages about dovecot errors. They come between 1-10 an hour. Whats up?

These are not error messages, but warnings from lfd. You should add the new executables to csf.pignore to stop these emails.

i have exactly the same issue, almost immediately after the upgrade i started getting this mails, like 3 to 15 mails per hour.

I know that this are no error messages, are warnings, but this warnings started after the system update to the new version, my server was very stable without warnings in the past months, so i dont think adding the executable to pignore is the solution, there must be a reason why this warnings come. In that case we should disable csf and thats it... ignoring all the executables every time that we received alerts is not a solution, there must be a reason;

I want to clarify that I have 4 servers and this problem was only in one of them. All my servers are now in 11.40.

- - - Updated - - -

and all my servers have exactly the same settings, so there is no any different settings from the server with this issue from the other servers.

It should not be a huge surprise to anyone that you may need to update csf's process ignore file after installing a new version of dovecot.

Hello

This is discussed on the following thread:

LFD Warnings About Dovecot on 11.40

If you are having issues with Dovecot itself (e.g. IMAP is not working properly), then the following post should be helpful:

Thank you.
