A config would always be useful, but I can venture a guess. Perhaps the

the lmtp process. Try increasing "default_vsz_limit" or
the "service lmtp { vsz_limit }". Removing the overly large index cache
file should also, temporarily, help. In case you do
not get this error from the imap/pop3 processes, perhaps you have
already set a higher vsz_limit for those?
Teemu,
Thanks for your suggestion. I checked the output of doveconf, and by
default it appears the vsz_limit is set to 18446744073709551615B for
each of the services, and 256M for default_vsz_limit.
I checked a user in question, and their index.cache was indeed large,
123M. Seemingly needlessly so, as I deleted the dovecot files and
reindexed, and now it's 6K.
Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the users this affects and try to get their
index.cache in order.
Thanks,
Andy
