I configured dovecot to authenticate through ldap. When for some reason the ldap server is not working dovecot writes this message to the system log:
dovecot: auth(default): accept(type 1) failed: Too many open files "Too many open files" is caused by an openldap bug. The serious problem is that dovecot repeats that message a huge number of times, something like 20000 times per second, until the ldap daemon starts working or, more likely, no more disk space remains. -- // Stefano Fedrigo - Develer S.r.l. \X/ http://www.develer.com
