What does Dovecot do when dovecot-auth reaches the max size defined by auth_process_size? Does it just prevent it from growing further, or does it cause any problems? Thanks, Bill

I hope it's clear enough for anyone wanting to install a working

...6.88.180.*, lip=85.17.42.165 No other errors are logged. When i restart dovecot it runs fine again for some time. Sometimes it works for a few days, sometimes just a few hours. There's always a point where it freezes again. Reinstalled dovecot. Fiddled a bit with the auth_worker_max_count and auth_process_size settings. No change in behavior was observed. There's no out of the ordinary cpu or memory use. Any ideas? Floris
