Hi,

 

I have set up 2 SLES 15 Hosts with dovecot and replication. Everything seems to work fine but every time a message is delivered, I get an out of memory error in the logs. The Replication itself seems to work fine though.

 

I increased default_vsz_limit to 512M but  the only thing that changed was that dovecot was trying to allocate 1073741864 bytes instead of 268435496

 

As I said, I’m running SLES 15 SP1 and Dovecot 2.3.10 (0da0eff44) (both Hosts have the same version)

 

Each Host currently has 8GB of Memory.
