I've no idea about AIX, but it sounds similar to how Linux distros set
them up. They probably affect only the logging in users' processes and
not services that start up.

Anyway you probably still have "ulimit" command in AIX shells too? So
before starting up Dovecot, make sure "ulimit -n" returns enough files.
