Error: /proc/self/status is larger than expected

[Elisamuel Resto]

Hello,

gaia ~ # uname -a
Linux gaia 6.1.12-gentoo-x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar  9 19:57:24 CST 2023 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470S CPU @ 2.90GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
gaia ~ # dovecot --version
2.3.20 (80a5ac675d)
gaia ~ # cat /proc/self/status | wc --bytes

See attached for example content of /proc/self/status and the dovecot.conf through 'dovecot -n'

I am re-sending this message because there were a lot of DMARC reports due to my reject policy and the Dovecot list settings.

Regards,
-Sam

Every binary throws out that error, every LMTP delivery... basically every time any dovecot binary is executed. I am unsure if this is configuration related or not, but intuition says it is an issue with a kernel feature or compiler issue.

Below and excerpt of a few lines of logs. Since I don't know what specifically this would relate to (and I don't quite remember the command to send the "safe" version of the configuration), I am sending this message in hopes that whatever is needed can be asked and I will provide it.
