Some things you could try: Does Cygwin have strace? Run "strace -f dovecot" to see if it shows something interesting. Is the problem with starting dovecot-auth or after dovecot-auth has already started? Try setting auth_executable = /tmp/test.sh where test.sh is something like: #!/bin/sh echo "i'm running" > /tmp/dovecot.output exit 0 If that worked, try adding exit(0); as the first statement in src/auth/main.c's main() function to see if it returns 53 before or after it reaches that far.
