Has epoll worked before?
Yes. I think I found the issue: some imap-login processes wouldn't die, after I kill -9'ed them, I got:
Dec 30 09:05:33 postamt dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slowing down for now ... Dec 30 09:05:33 postamt dovecot: Fatal: imap-login: epoll_create(): Too many open files ... kill -9 ... Dec 30 09:06:33 postamt dovecot: Created login processes successfully, unstalling
Now the errors are gone.
