Hello.

The problem with dovecot/config processes never ending and spawning new one on each reload (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2016-November/106058.html) is becoming a problem here:

# ps aux|grep dovecot/config|wc -l 206

That's a lot of wasted memory - dovecot/config processes ate over 30GB of ram on 64GB box.

If anyone else uses shutdown_clients = no and has the same problem here is a script that needs to be run from cron and it kills old, unneeded config processes.

Works fine here.
