[Dovecot] Error: Maximum number of mail processes exceeded
Hi, i don't know. Is normal login_max_processes_count > 1024??
Our environment is about 1700 users (imaps + thunderbird or
imaps+horde). The server is RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2
User logins different in a hour:
# cat dovecot.info | grep 'Nov 11 10' | grep "login: Login" |
cut -d'<'
-f2 | cut -d'>' -f1 | sort | uniq | wc -l
685
Logins in a hour:
# cat dovecot.info | grep 'Nov 11 10' | grep "login: Login" |
wc -l
5749
Is normal??
Should i increment login_max_processes_count?
