currently the client_limt is at zero, and I believe this is unlimited service config {   chroot =   client_limit = 0   drop_priv_before_exec = no   executable = config   extra_groups =   group =   idle_kill = 1 mins   privileged_group =   process_limit = 0   process_min_avail = 16   protocol =

Can you try increasing client_limit for service config, to maybe, say, 1000? There should be no reason to have lots of multiple config processes, so it sounds more like the client limit is being reached. Aki > On 16/08/2022 19:03 EEST fil...@digirati.com.br > wrote: > > > The only thing I

The only thing I had initially configured was vsz_limit, but as the number of clients grew, the number of dovecot/config processes grew, and with that I added idle_kill and service_count to try to minimize the use of ram memory In dovecot 2.2.33.2 , another server, has the same amount of

Hello, I tested the suggestion to decrease the service_count and the accounts stopped logging in, then I gradually increased it to 500, and now it's working. But the dovecot/config processes are still being created, there has been no change for the better. Now I have an error constantly
