Our postfix server started logging the above messages so I was thinking I had a postfix issue, but it turned out that recreating the dovecot.log file fixed the issue. Does the /var/log/dovecot.log file require special permissions or can it only grow to a certain size ?
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#logging, especially the part about Postfix's mailbox_size_limit.
Aha that must be it, thanks for the pointer, much appreciated. Nick.
