Hi.
I tried for some time to reproduce the "Login process died too early issue". It seems related to when the system run out of file descriptors, to force the issue i forwarded 3k of messages trough the server(using thunderbird). I also tried with my usual mail application - mail.app, but no luck there.
Aug 26 18:46:36 soekris postfix/cleanup[14739]: fatal: accept connection: Too many open files in system That would be a system limits issue, not a dovecot issue iirc. Youi'll need to raise the limits for fds (file descriptors) in your system for the dovecot user to be higher than it currently is (not really sure what you should raise it to).
There may be another way (for instance _maybe_ there's a dovecot option for the config), I'm not sure though.
