Hi,
Since we upgraded to 2.0.9 (from 1.10 stock CentOS release), we are getting some errors with pop3. When the machines get busy, now and then it start with the following:
Mar 7 11:19:51 xxx dovecot: pop3-login: Error: net_connect_unix(pop3) failed: Resource temporarily unavailable And it generates hundreds of those before the machines dies, with the web server getting stuck as well on imap sessions, even though there is no imap error messages.
I tried to lookup in the source where this is generated, but couldn't find it. Is it some resource limit on the machine?
Please see bellow the dovecot -n output.
Regards,
