Before you start Dovecot type this in you shell: ulimit -n 65000
I don't know how the use of the 'unlimited' word works: maybe this is only 1024?

Dovecot reports: Warning: fd limit 1024 is lower than what Dovecot can use under full load (more than 1712). Either grow the limit or change login_max_processes_count and max_mail_processes settings But in my /var/service/dovecot/run script I use: #!/bin/sh mkdir /var/core chmod 1777 /var/core echo /var/core/%p > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern ulimit -n unlimited ulimit -c unlimited /usr/local/sbin/dovecot -F So how can I raise the filedescriptor limit above 1024 (linux-2.6.24.2, Debian)? -- Ralf Hildebrandt ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Postfix - Einrichtung, Betrieb und Wartung Tel. +49 (0)30-450 570-155 http://www.arschkrebs.de StGB SS328 Absatz 2.3: Mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu fnf Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe wird bestraft, wer eine nukleare Explosion verursacht
