Hi guys, I moved to google small business mail (updated MX records, so that all email which comes to my server now is redirected reliably to google by using DNS records and my server doesn't handle the emails anymore. That's all works great and perfect, but I assume I have to disable dovecot because I don't use it.
Whatever command I tried, dovecot appears again. Looks like directadmin or something else monitors the service and if it is down, directadmin starts up it again. I wouldn't like to uninstall it because may be later in a year I'll need it again, but how can I disable it?
I tried:
service dovecot stop
and it shows [OK] but in 10-20 seconds I see it again in ps aux | grep dovecot .
I also tried to use kill, but dovecot resurrects again anyway.
How can I reliably disable it so that it wouldn't start again? Thanks.
