Hi Hugh,

> Anyone got any ideas on what is restarting Dovecot every 15 minutes?

Swatch (Active Monitor) checks if POP3 and/or IMAP are supposed to be on. If 
they're supposed to be on, but one of them is not responding, then Dovecot 
will be restarted.

That's done by the "plugins" that "base-email-am" provides to Active Monitor.

The two plugins that are responsible for monitoring IMAP and POP3 are these 
two here:

/usr/sausalito/swatch/bin/am_imap.exp
/usr/sausalito/swatch/bin/am_pop.exp

Suggestion: Run "/usr/sbin/swatch" from the command line and then check your 
logs to see if that restarts Dovecot.

Also check /var/log/messages to see what Active Monitor related events are 
logged.
