Currently I'm having massive problems with LMTP delivery into dovcot. dovecot/lmtp processes are piling up, eas using considerable amounts of CPU:

doveadm stop won't stop these, I have to use kill -9 on them. I already tried disabling fts (entirely), still things won't speed up.
I can't strace: # strace -p 20841 Process 20841 attached
(and that's it)
# dpkg -l|grep dovecot ii dovecot-core 2:2.2.25-1~auto+57 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - core files ii dovecot-imapd 2:2.2.25-1~auto+57 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - IMAP daemon ii dovecot-lmtpd 2:2.2.25-1~auto+57 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - LMTP server ii dovecot-lucene 2:2.2.25-1~auto+57 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - Lucene support ii dovecot-sieve 2:2.2.25-1~auto+57 amd64 secure POP3/IMAP server - Sieve filters support
I also tried deleting the mdboxes, that also didn't change anything. Ideas?
