Yes, but when Dovecot is spawned as service, the user dovecot does not log
in (through PAM anyway to have pam_limits invoked), therefore I assume
that limits.conf does not take effect.

Hmm, I do remember something similiar when the new students arrived and
the number of simultaneous logins increased above some limit.
I added the ulimit command to init.d.
