Looking at https://doc.dovecot.org/2.4.1/core/admin/running.html, and comparing
with a system where I have installed Dovecot 2.4.1:
root@mail:/etc/dovecot/conf.d# ps auxw|grep "dovecot"
root 9739 0.0 0.0 8872 4816 ? Ss 14:47 0:00 /usr/sbin/
dovecot -F
root 9741 0.0 0.0 5324 3280 ? S 14:47 0:00 dovecot/
anvil
root 9742 0.0 0.0 5428 3256 ? S 14:47 0:00 dovecot/log
root 9743 0.0 0.1 51976 10248 ? S 14:47 0:00 dovecot/
config
Why are my other services not running? For example, the dovecot/auth service is
not running.
On an system running 2.3.21, I get:
wash@eu:~$ ps auxw|grep "dovecot"

In an Internet failure case, the #1 suspect is a constant: DNS.
"Oh, the cruft.", egrep -v '^$|^.*#' ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :-)
