I'm getting "Maximum number of mail processes exceeded" messages when
512 imap Processes are active.
Dovecot reports:
Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full
load (more than 1712). Either grow the limit or change
login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings
But in my /var/service/dovecot/run script I use:
#!/bin/sh
mkdir /var/core
chmod 1777 /var/core
echo /var/core/%p > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
ulimit -n unlimited
ulimit -c unlimited
/usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F
So how can I raise the filedescriptor limit above 1024
(linux-2.6.24.2, Debian)?
