I will be deploying Dovecot on OS X shortly. I am looking for clarification on the limits imposed by OS X and sysctl [kern.maxproc]. I understand that it is defaulting to 532, but can be raised to 2500. I believe the OS uses around 100 or so, plus I will have other processes and shells at times. Does Dovecot use one process per user logged in? I find Apple Mail uses about 4 IMAP
