I'm currently working on upgrading Dovecot to 2.2.30.1-1 on 5207R, 5208R
and 5209R as I hope that the latest version might address some of these
issues. However: As the update isn't trivial and needs a hell of a lot
of testing before I publish it, this will take some time. I hope to have
it ready sometime next week.

In my experience the maximum number of allowed dovecot processes as
specified by the free Dfix package is a bit too arbitrarily picked. I've
seen highly active boxes that easily and without problems supported much
more than what Dfix allowed.
My suggestion: Uninstall Dfix and replace it with Dfix2 from the shop.
