The OP was running Centos, and the Red Hat way of increasing nofile for
services is to add the ulimit setting to /etc/sysconfig/dovecot:

	ulimit -n 32768

This is what we use, and it survives dovecot upgrades (since this is
tagged as a configfile in RPM, not as script that will be overwritten on
upgrades).
