I've got these messages inside my mail.log from dovecot:
Feb 13 07:06:49 xxx dovecot: auth: Warning: auth client 0 disconnected with 1 pending requests: Connection reset by peer
What do they mean?

Change in dovecot that introduced this is http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2011-November/019388.html
On a server I look after these all seem to match up with postfix losing its connection to the auth server. We have it setup through lmtp. Example log line is
postfix/smtpd[32407]: warning: unknown[1.2.3.4]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: Connection lost to authentication server
I've yet to see any legit clients fail with this, it has all been people trying to brute force accounts.
