<br>
Seeing this with both 1.0beta9 and 1.0rc12<br>
<br>
This occured when a user was not using the client, however the
client(Thunderbird) filtering mechanism was active as their client is
left on 24x7.<br>
<br>
Do we really need to increase individual user maxfiles to >1024
? Dovecot is set to 31768 so it is definately the user process
here.<br>
<br>
Anything I can tweak in dovecot.conf to prevent this?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
