Hi,

recently I debugged some load and performance and 'log out' problems and found an error in the dovecot logs:

Error: pipe() failed: Too many open files

Googling around and reading some posts led to the conclusion, that my problem is a bug, which will not be removed.

So I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest prebuild rpm from here:

http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/

As far as I understand the upgrading instructions, I'll be save as we dont use special setting, but I'll check all changes.

My question: Dose anybody has done such an upgrade yet?

Or are there any suggestion or hints?

Thanks a lot and best regards.

Götz
