Error: open() failed with file /var/vmail/... Too many open files

[Silvia Tormo]

I've already tried creating etc/default/dovecot chmod +x it and inside put ulimit but didn't work.

Also i've tried to put the ulimit into the /etc/init.d/dovecot linked file but i found still 1024 the limit kn dovecot.
