If you're on a small site, then you'll be fine, and can just ignore these. If you're on a large site, particularly with most users keeping imap connections open all the time, you might bump up against the max file descriptors problem. It's your call.

Q: I'm getting messages in imapd.log like: Sep 11 17:23:55 ogg lmtpd[773]: DBERROR db3: 16 lockers Sep 11 17:23:55 ogg lmtpd[1409]: DBERROR db3: 17 lockers Sep 11 17:23:56 ogg lmtpd[1508]: DBERROR db3: 9 lockers Sep 11 17:23:56 ogg lmtpd[776]: DBERROR db3: 9 lockers What's wrong? A: Nothing is wrong. These messages are logged whenever Berkeley db encounters lock contention, but isn't necessarily a problem by themselves. This is especially likely when you have an empty or small duplicate delivery database and are receiving a large volume of e-mail.
Berkeley db 4.0 has a bug where the number of lockers isn't decremented properly, causing this number to be unreliable.

Well, now I have Cyrus installed (yet not completelytested though)The only 2 things left, which are bothering me now ,2 king of messagesin syslog:
1: "lmtpd[10260]: DBERROR db4: 9 lockers"
These are usually harmless, unless they go up in a sudden spike or are accompanied by other problems, its ok.
limit to2: "master: setrlimit: Unable to set file descriptors-1: Operation not permitted"
This is also mostly harmless, it indicates that cyrus was unable to unlimit its max # of file descriptors, which is generally ok.
But, may be there's something I can do to fix thosebugs , to live withclean logs...?
change the code? turn off logging? Since the setrlimit one only occurs at startup, it shouldn't be that big a deal. I can see the DBERROR one being more annoying I guess, but it would require a change to the code.

So i don't think this is really a problem .. ?? isn't it ?
