Hello,
are you using systemd? May be you have to edit unit-file for dovecotservice and increase filelimit
LimitNOFILE=infinity

I haven't done this on the old, working machine.
So there must be a difference between Debian 7 and 9 how open files are handled?

You probably need to increase ulimit -n

Hi @all,
after re-installing one of my two frontends/proxy-servers I get the following error messages after some time (sometimes after 1h, sometimes after 24h):

As I switched from KVM to LXC my first idea was that this could be caused by LXC but this even happens with KVM. I tried dovecot 2.2.31 and 2.2.32.rc2. OS is Debian 9.
These problems don't occur on my old machine (Debian 7).
Any ideas?
Regards Patrick
