Hi Ralf,
At noon, I often get "dovecot: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded"
I'm at my wits end, which parameter needs to be increased further?
You have to increase "max_mail_processes" as this code emits the error message:
if (mail_process_count == set->max_mail_processes) { i_error("Maximum number of mail processes exceeded"); return MASTER_LOGIN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR; }[...]
max_mail_processes: 1024 [...]
But the question is: how much user are accessing your server simultaneously? Is it really more than 1024 or is mail_process_count wrong?
├─runsvdir─┬─runsv───run───perl
│ ├─runsv───ntpd
│ └─runsv───dovecot─┬─2*[dovecot-auth]
│ ├─945*[imap]
│ ├─32*[imap-login]
│ └─32*[pop3-login]
Your overpowered server is surely able to handle more than 1024 connections.
Heiko
