Yeah, I've seen this on another box as well. There is a limit of 1024
files that can be open at the same time. If you have a lot of Dovecot
logins, this limit is reached quickly.

You can temporarily raise it with this command: "ulimit -n 65536"

A more permanent solution is to edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf
and to add these four lines to it:

*         hard    nofile      65536
*         soft    nofile      65536
root      hard    nofile      65536
root      soft    nofile      65536
