Anyone have issues with LMTP after latest CB2 Dovecot build?
Resource: Process Time
Exceeded: 31105 > 2400 (seconds)
Executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/lmtp
Command Line: dovecot/lmtp [idling]
PID: 21090 (Parent PID:2588)
Killed: No
Have rebuild Dovecot, to fix another issue, but this issue is crawling up. It obviously hangs.

LMTP process for delivering new mails.
client_limit=1, because most of the time spent on an LMTP client is spent waiting for disk I/O and other blocking operations. There's no point in having more clients waiting around during that doing nothing.
However, LMTP proxying is only writing to temporary files that normally stay only in memory. So for LMTP proxying a client_limit above 1 could be useful.
user=root, but the privileges are (temporarily) dropped to the mail user's privileges after userdb lookup. If only a single UID is used, user can be set to the mail UID for higher security, because the process can't gain root privileges anymore.
