dovecot - Jan 2011 - lmtp (xxx@mydomain.yy): Error: user xxx@mydomain.yy: Initialization failed: Namespace '': mbox: mbox requires client_limit=1 for service

new Dovecot 2.0.8 installation on Opensuse 11.3
I got the error "lmtp (xxx at mydomain.yy): Error: user xxx at mydomain.yy:
Initialization failed: Namespace '': mbox: mbox requires client_limit=1
for service" while trying to transfer mails by lmtp from postfix to
dovecot.
I googled and looked on the dovecot wiki about this client_limit issue,
but no success.
What's the syntax of the client_limit and where to place it? Into which
config file? Inside the global namespace doesn't seems to work (error on
dovecot start).
-What's the side effect of this setting to my IMAP clients? Are multiple
imap connections to the same mailbox still possible?

Guess you can tweak it here:

$ doveconf -a | grep -A 5 'service.lmtp' 
service lmtp {
  chroot = 
  client_limit = 0
  drop_priv_before_exec = no
  executable = lmtp
  extra_groups =

It changes the number of concurrent deliveries allowed - or more precisely
prevents any.  'Mbox' calls for for locking issues.
