Hello,
For two days in a row, I've noticed that my dovecot server (hosted on a PowerMac running OS X) has stopped working, with a bunch of error messages in /var/log/mail.log like: May 24 07:31:10 top dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files
How many is a bunch?
Dovecot once died on me after an upgrade, because the logfile had
filled up the 7Gb partition with millions of these errors:dovecot: Feb 27 03:55:46 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files dovecot: Feb 27 03:55:46 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files dovecot: Feb 27 03:55:46 Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files
I got about 600 MB of them, but it was clearly running out of files.
I've fetched the latest beta and recompiled, so it might work better.
I did not get the error you had.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Alan
