Had an event today where dovecot refused new connections and would not accept more until restarted, whereupon it worked for a few minutes and locked up again. Looking at the logs it appeared that it had run out of file descriptors. I increased the open files limit and started it again-- which worked but it only pushes off the problem.
Which process ran out of fds? "dovecot"?
Sorry for being non-specific. dovecot-auth was the program that logged the error, like this:
dovecot-auth: getpwnam(xxxx) failed: Too many open files
