[Dovecot] Problem with process_limit

[FABIO FERRARI]

Yes, thanks, it seems that this configuration changed something, but I
think there is something else.

Now this particular warning in the dovecot.log disappeared, but it shows
these lines instead:

Oct 17 10:55:57 imap-login: Error: net_connect_unix(anvil) failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Oct 17 10:55:57 imap-login: Fatal: Couldn't connect to anvil
Oct 17 10:56:12 pop3-login: Error: net_connect_unix(anvil) failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable
Oct 17 10:56:12 pop3-login: Fatal: Couldn't connect to anvil

the result is quite the same, I have to reload the dovecot because it
does'n accept connections.

I tried to add these lines in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf:

service anvil {
  client_limit = 5000
}

but without good results.

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Fabio Ferrari
