What Dovecot version are you using? If v1.1+, doesn't it give a warning at startup that your limit is too low?

Just so you know dovecot does what you coded it to, yes it gives
warning, dovecot -n in normal shell shows it, adn I think once I was
lazy and started it without the rc file and was warned as well.

I forgot something, i use dovecot 1.0.15 in RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.0

Do you know the problem?

Thank you.

Hi, other error in "open files":

We work in "High-performance mode" with login_max_processes_count = 256

Our script "post-login-imap-dovecot" is: #!/bin/sh touch ~/.last_login exec /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap

Now, we have this: # lsof -p cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid | wc -l 1018

¿Any idea? Thanks a lot.

Bye.

Timo has already pointed this out to you. Perfect. In your, hrmm not used RH servers in years being a Skackware'r, but I think its in file /etc/init.d/dovecot ? At the top of this file, right after the shell declaration, put in

ulimit -n 8192 Ok, I put it in /etc/init.d/dovecot and now i have:
