[Dovecot] Alerts when process limits are met

[David Anderson]

Hi,

Thanks. I used monit, and will code something up of that kind - but I 
was curious as to whether dovecot had something built in; external 
monitoring is a somewhat blunter tool, as you don't get to know exactly 
why there was a problem unless you also parse the logs.

Tricky to investigate this kind of issue - it has only happened once, 
and I had a few hundred people trying to log in, so no time to start 
debugging! But if it recurs I'll be back to ask for guidance...

Many thanks,
David
