That's my next question. 'The how' I'm on OSX 10.10.3, latest Dovecot. I need to either increase limit -n globally, or for Dovect at boot time. ulimit -n 4096 for example.

I can set it in /etc/profile, but that seems like it my be a brute force method?

Increase the ulimit before starting dovecot. the how depends on your distro.

-- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org

Yes,tried a range from 100 to 1000, but the warning still happens, with varying outputs saying its either over or under. I'm looung for a way to set the limit when dovecot starts, or as part of the startup process actually.

thanks Robert

It may be easier for you to just adjust it in:

dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf default_client_limit = 500 (to start with, you may need to adjust further)
