[Dovecot] 1.0.5: many pop3-login processes?

[Alan Ferrency]

Hello,

We are running dovecot 1.0.5 on a test server, with FreeBSD 6.2
(though I have noticed the same problem since dovecot versions in the
0.99 range).

We don't have very many simultaneous pop/imap users, but we have a
proliferation of pop3-login processes.

Currently we have 128 such processes. We have 11 imap-login processes,
but only a few actual imap processes running.

Is this normal?  Can we stop it?

Is anyone else successfully running dovecot on FreeBSD 6.2?

Thanks for your help.
