You trimmed relevant stuff...nonetheless,
I am using IMAP not POP for these accounts,
but afaik, I'm sending over SMTP.
Now, that I look, I'm seeing this in the mail.err logs:
Mar 10 22:04:58 myownsite dovecot: auth-worker(13988): Error:
mysql(127.0.0.1): Connect failed to database (mail): Can't connect to
MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111) - waiting for 125 seconds before
retry
on one server, but not such thing on the other
I think mariadb was overworked last night (since moved some sites off
this server, CPU load was massive, but now ok).
tail of mail.log on same server with above error looks relatively
normal:

both servers show similar in mail.warn:

I can't for the life of me determine anything useful from these.
