Hello all,

Today I had problems on one of the servers. Dovecot stopped working and I got lots of "Request queue is full" on logs.

Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(xxx@xxx.com.br): Request queue is full Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(xxxxx@xxxx.com.br): Request queue is full Aug 14 16:49:45 mailserver03 dovecot: auth(default): ldap(xxxx@xxxxx.com,10.0.3.1): Request queue is full

Only after a restart on dovecot daemon the services worked again. Does anyone know how can I fix this problem?

The server were with about 900 imap connections and 300 pop3 connections.
