Ive been fighting with the pop3 part of dovecot for the past 2 weeks, and I have tried and changed so many things that to be honest Im feeling a little bonkers and if you see anything obviously wrong in my config feel free to chastise me. The error does not happen every time no, but I have been clearing the log file a lot because this system has been unstable, having high loads, running out of auth connections, I have been having chdir (/mail/mail/usersmaildir) blocked for 12 seconds, I have seen my max connectiosn for auth workers I think it was run out, that was when I had a 511 load. I didnt know if i was under some kind of pop3 connection attack or what. Im dreading having to tell my boss that we need to go back to courier pop3... UGH. I was able to have a single P4 3ghz server be our pop3 server, now one quad core double the ram box running dovecot as the pop3 server is falling over, am I just doing something totally wrong here? /frustrated ramble ramble....
