Recently I have noticed in the mail lot a lot of weird errors.

dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Too many open 
files
dovecot: imap-login: socket(default) failed: Too many open files

I do not have that many users on this particular server, and it's not that 
busy.  I have to manually restart dovecot, and all is back to normal.
Has someone else experienced this? What could be causing it? Any suggestions 
is appreciated.

How many dovecot processes are running before you restart?

On my servers I just have it check with a cron if there are more than 60-70 
and if there are then it will
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dovecot restart
