I have a mailbox with an ungodly number of small messages in it. When new messages are delivered lmtp kicks up an error like the one below. I tried raising the vsz_limit for lmtp but that didn't see to help. That should help.

default_vsz_limit = 256 M service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } vsz_limit = 256 M } Did you try higher than 256M? There might be some memory temporarily wasted which causes it to go over.
service lmtp { vsz_limit = 320 M }
Yep. That seems to cover it. Delivered a message with lmtp and no error in the logs. dovecot.index.cache timestamp updated too.
Thanks! Guess I should have tried something absurdly high before emailing, just to see if that was it.
