[Dovecot] Connection queue full on dovecot 1.1.14 and 1.1.15

Hello,

It seems to me the error occurs more often after increasing  
login_processes_count.
This errors exists with version 1.1.14 and 1.1.15 and I guess also in  
earlier versions.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sven

Oh, so my potential fix didn't fix this after all. It's an annoying bug
which happens when login process reaches login_max_connections. So
instead of
> login_processes_count: 10
> login_max_processes_count: 256
rather keep the login_processes_count small, like the number of CPUs you
have or maybe +1 more. And rather increase the login_max_connections.
