Ops! I thought limits.conf was a semi-official answer for this issue. But you're right, I've been playing with it and looking at /proc/$PID/limits and it has no influence. It works for initial dovecot process (run by root), but not for the imap-login or pop3-login ones. > One way at least that might work (I'm not sure) would be to put > > ulimit -n 4096 > > to /etc/sysconfig/dovecot Unfortunately, this doesn't work with my home made startup script. Anyway, on a testing machine I've seen that the actual limit depends on the configuration file (¿?). The initial limit was 533, and after adding the following lines to dovecot.conf login_processes_count = 16 login_max_connections = 512 login_process_size = 256 now it's 1045.
