Sorry for chiming in so late, I've just seen this thread. I can confirm that dovecot doesn't like SmartOS' epoll(5) implementation. I noticed this with dovecot from pkgsrc. It used to use epoll(5) and anvil crashed on SASL authentication. Once I compiled dovecot with poll(2) it worked flawlessly. Newer pksrc dovecot fixed this by not using epoll(5) (IIRC). Since you are seeing similar symptoms, it looks like something is wrong with the epoll(5) implementation on SmartOS, and dovecot is triggering that bug.
