[Dovecot] logging issues w/ login_max_processes_count on 1.x

[Douglas Mortensen]

Hmm. Is there any reason why it wouldn't show up for me, when I'm 99% positive we were hitting the max & still having new connections come in?

Here's what I get when I grep my logs for those statements:

servername:~# cd /var/log
servername:/var/log# ls mail.*
mail.err    mail.err.2.gz  mail.err.4.gz  mail.info.1     mail.info.3.gz  mail.log    mail.log.2.gz  mail.log.4.gz   mail.warn    mail.warn.2.gz  mail.warn.4.gz
mail.err.1  mail.err.3.gz  mail.info      mail.info.2.gz  mail.info.4.gz  mail.log.1  mail.log.3.gz  mail.stats.log  mail.warn.1  mail.warn.3.gz
servername:/var/log# zegrep "Connection queue full|login_max_processes_count" mail.*
servername:/var/log#


In other words, nothing. I'm assuming that the log output you specified is case sensitive, as that's what I grep'ed for.
