Our 2.1.3 server has been locking up once every day or two, with a wide variety of problems related to skiplist, file locking, and stuff that we're still tracking down. Currently we are running a cron job to check IMAP, LMTP, and POP login every two minute and restart it if it's locked up. Not ideal, obviously! A watchdog system would be far preferable for periods where bugs are getting ironed out.
Heneique, please let us know if you'd like any help with testing or anything else, if you decide to work on this.
