Didn't tought of that, I've console access, so whenever I've to do something I do it from shell.
In the case of dovecot there's a single init.d entity for¡ everything, so maybe you could have in your ispcp.conf the following:
CMD_AUTHD = /etc/init.d/dovecot
CMD_IMAP_SSL = /etc/init.d/dovecot
CMD_IMAP = /etc/init.d/dovecot
CMD_POP_SSL = /etc/init.d/dovecot
CMD_POP = /etc/init.d/dovecot

Quote:Does dovecot need to be restarted after accounts are added/deleted?

Dovecot is reading the users directly from the database, so there's no need to restart it when there are changes

Ok, this is what I actually ended up doing so that it wouldn't try to restart a nonexistant courier. However, now it will likely restart dovecot multiple times after a change is made right?

I don't want dovecot restarting 4-5 times after an email address is added...

If anyone has any guidance for the best way to set this up, please chime in.
