Hi, I have had this error twice within +/- one month: Sep 30 15:16:52 nix dovecot: deliver(u...@domain.com): open(/home/vmail/domain.com/user/maildirsize) failed: Too many open files
I know, dovecot reports this error, but I am wondering if dspam is not the cause of this issue. I use the following configuration: Postfix -> dspam -> dovecot such as described in the wiki: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/dspam/index.php?title=Integrate_DSPAM_into_the_Debian-based_ISPmail_setup I am using the latest git code under debian stable. After running for a while: # lsof -nu dspam | wc -l 502 But just after restarting dspam: # lsof -nu dspam 33 I have a lot of the following pipes: dspam 19494 dspam 468r FIFO 0,5 7581437 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 469r FIFO 0,5 7585705 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 470r FIFO 0,5 7589680 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 471r FIFO 0,5 7593653 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 472r FIFO 0,5 7595531 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 473r FIFO 0,5 7595593 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 474r FIFO 0,5 7597448 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 475r FIFO 0,5 7598314 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 476r FIFO 0,5 7599534 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 477r FIFO 0,5 7601936 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 478r FIFO 0,5 7602075 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 479r FIFO 0,5 7611437 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 480r FIFO 0,5 7615635 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 481r FIFO 0,5 7621285 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 482r FIFO 0,5 7622826 pipe dspam 19494 dspam 483r FIFO 0,5 7624179 pipe I think it then hits the default limit: ds...@server:~$ ulimit -n 1024 I am not confortable with this, maybe someone could try and explain whether this is normal, or what could be done to avoid this, or might be a bug somewhere in dspam etc. Thanks in advance for your ideas, comments and explanations.
