Anyone running Dovecot on Solaris, requiring only SSL connections, and servicing thousands of simultaneous users? Our past attempts to do so have failed due to dovecot-auth using up all 256 of its file descriptors. I say 256 since we are limited to that by the 32-bit libraries. We are looking at either compiling Dovecot in 64-bit and letting dovecot-auth file descriptors accumulate (not ideal), or providing Timo with access to one of our test servers so he can debug the problem. However, I would like to hear of anyone in the same boat first. Thanks!
Thanks all for the various replies to my original post. However...
UPDATE:
After upgrading from rc15 to rc23 the problem appears to have magically gone away. Timo has apparently fixed this, intentionally or otherwise. :)
Note that we are using defaults for all 'login_' config items except:
login_processes_count = 32 login_max_processes_count = 4096
Now we can finally proceed with our upgrade from UW-IMAP to Dovecot.
