Hi, has anyone seen this issue before as I have not.
I'm a long time dovecot user and I don't see anything in the config that
should cause this.
The mail.log gets hit a lot of times with this same log message:
dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded
(mail_max_userip_connections)
I have noted that it is more evident when I try to mass delete many
messages.
Any ideas of how to diagnose this issue?
