Hello Group,

is it possible to Limit the number of pop/imap requests to Dovecot?

I read the Wiki and found

max_mail_processes = 512

is this the way to limit this ?

This limits the number of simultaneous IMAP and POP3 connections. Is that what you mean with "requests"? If so, yeah, you can reduce this value. I think the counts are tracked separately for IMAP and POP3 (so you can have 512 IMAP and 512 POP3 connections).
