Hi,

	What is the real difference between client and process limit? According 
to documentation (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Services#Service_limits):

client_limit: Maximum number of simultaneous client connections. If set 
to 0, default_client_limit is used instead.
process_limit: Maximum number of processes that can exist for this 
service. If set to 0, default_process_limit is used instead.

	But what does "client connection" exactly means? Is a user (login)? Is 
a user opens a few TCP connections (as many clients do) are they count 
as different connections?
