I SEE THIS IN LOG COPY:

Yes but Memory is enough free. I had follow the link
It is very likely virtual memory (just address space, not actual memory)
that cannot be allocated. Dovecot restricts the amount of virtual
memory it can allocate ... something that most programs do not do. This
makes it possible to prevent a certain class of bug from using all the
memory. I think it defaults to 256M which would be 268435456 bytes.
Just a tiny bit less than the amount in the error message.
I think the setting in the link would only affect the replicator, not
all of dovecot. Your error does indicate it is the replicator that had
the problem, but I think setting the limit more globally would be
desirable. If I have the wrong idea here, can someone please let me know?
In my config, I set default_vsz_limit and one instance of vsz_limit to
1024M because I was running into a very similar error message. I could
probably remove the explicit vsz_limit setting because I set the
default, but I haven't tried it, and this config works:
