Dear all,

I am using Dovecot 2.2.19 and I keep on getting the following warnings in my mail.log file on FreeBSD 10:

Oct 24 10:45:28 server1 dovecot: imap: Error: GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 20480): Oct 24 10:45:28 server1 dovecot: imap: Error: May lead to memory leak and poor performance.

I am wondering whether this is a configuration issue (i.e. a mistake in my current config) or whether I am hitting a bug. What’s the best way of figuring this one out? I tried increasing the verbosity of the logs but it did not really provide me with further information.

Any ideas?

Here is my config:

Many thanks.
