Code: 
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop

Should work, but

Code: 
service dovecot stop

should also work, try the first command and let me know. You could try to edit the services.status file:

Code: 
nano -w /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status

Change:

Code: 
dovecot=ON

To

Code: 
dovecot=OFF

And then try:

Code: 
/sbin/service directadmin restart

If you dont stop it with directadmin it will auto restart.

Edit /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/services.status and change dovecot=ON to dovecot=OFF

Then stop it with the normal method.

Or just stop it in directadmin and it wont restart.
 
you are right
