Dovecot current number of connections being used.

[Jaime Ventura]

Hey,
Is there an easy way to get how many connections are being handled at a
moment?

I wanted to have that number over the time and see:
     - Trends on usage during the day
     - how close is it from reaching the maximum number of connections.
     - ...

I'm searching for a solution without recurring to something like netstat |
grep imap | wc -l.

Thanks,
Jaime
