In the past few months we've been having increasing problems with dovecot

As best I can tell it gets to the point where it won't accept any new pop3
logins.
The error in the mail log is:

I'm having an intermittent problem, with dovecot slowing to a crawl.
Restarting dovecot fixes the problem.

There weren't amazing numbers of imap sessions open at
the time (only something like 400-500; we've had 1.5k in
the past), so I
suspect this is a regression between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 where
you've got a
leak of fd's ?
Sounds like a leak, but I doubt it was a regression. Probably you

You have too many login/auth/mail processes running and/or your ulimit
-n is too small.
It was ulimit -n
I doubt any change in 1.0.6 or 1.0.7 itself caused this.
Coincidence, I guess

That's a really old version. You should be running v1.0.0 or later.
