I don´t have SELinux, or any type or hardening... The ulimit (when logged with dovecot user) is "unlimited"...

Yes, but when Dovecot is spawned as service, the user dovecot does not log in (through PAM anyway to have pam_limits invoked), therefore I assume that limits.conf does not take effect.

Dovecot ran with a lot of proccess here, something about 800~900 imap proccess and 5~10 login-proccess to 300~400 simultaneous users...

Hmm, I do remember something similiar when the new students arrived and the number of simultaneous logins increased above some limit. I added the ulimit command to init.d.
