Hello
I have this message repeated several times each *seconds* in /var/log/dovecot/dovecot.log
the max_mail_processes is set to 8192 and I can see an average of 500 imap processes on the machine , I think there is a problem somewhere ...
Debian 64 bits , IBM X3650 biproc , 7 Gb RAM , RAID5 disks , 2 ethernet Gb ports bonded.
Dovecot 1.1.11 has been compiled from scratch on the machine
Thanks for any info.
Hi Frank,
Your system is plenty powerful - no issues there.
What are your settings in the init script? I found that putting in a ulimit -n 8192 and ulimit -f 16384 prior to invoking dovecot was worthwhile on my system.
I would first try tweaking these settings in a root shell and then invoke dovecot with a -c conf make sure it is picking up the right conf file.
I'm sure the list will ask for the dovecot -n -c ... output as well.
