o support your investigation, I tried mdb and it says <br>
<br>
mdb: target performed exec of /usr/libexec/dovecot/anvil <br>
*Panic: epoll_ctl(add, 4) failed: Not owner (fd doesn't support epoll)* <br>

The last time I built dovecot under OmniOS (quite some time ago), it picked up Linux compatibility functions such as epoll() which were implemented for Linux system call emulation but did not work in dovecot. So the solution was to force using the more native
poll(2) instead. <br>

<p>Hello!</p>
<p>There is some "ifdef" mechanic in there, so you could disable the epoll mechanism with a simple patch and make dovecot use a different approach.</p>
<p>Have a look in core/m4/ioloop.m4 <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Ah, there is a configure option <span class="pl-c1"><span class="pl-pds"></span>--with-ioloop=poll<span class="pl-pds"></span></span></p>
<p></p>

<div>That is exactly what is done in pkgsrc, they also disable inotify</div>
