If it's this one https://github.com/brandond/poolmon/blob/master/poolmon 
<https://github.com/brandond/poolmon/blob/master/poolmon> 
you are running and old version of it as the latest version is more compatible 
with recent dovecot releases.

current version in git correctly uses HOST-DOWN and HOST-FLUSH instead of 
modifying vhost count.

But even then I still consider poolmon a bit too aggressive in marking hosts 
down. It does HOST-DOWN and HOST-FLUSH already after first scan failure. 
Maybe there should be some grace period and wait for few failed polls in 
certain period before doing it in case there is some temporary overload or 
networking failure.
