Hello,

dovecot-1.0.3 on Fedora 6 works perfect in general but sometimes the system becomes unresponsive and the log file shows tons of messages like this:

... imap-login: Disconnected: Shutting down: 127.0.0.1, secured ... pop3-login: Disconnected: Shutting down: aa.bb.cc.dd

Restarting dovecot helps, but what's behind? What can I do to prevent this?

To answer my own question :-)

I guess I found the solution. login_max_processes_count = 256 (default is 128)

And currently with ~180 we are far above the former used default.
