[Dovecot] lmtp: Error: mmap failed with file ... dovecot.index.cache: Cannot allocate memory
Hello,
I have a mailbox with an ungodly number of small messages in it. When new messages are delivered lmtp kicks up an error like the one below. I tried raising the vsz_limit for lmtp but that didn't see to help. Any ideas (besides deleting 400k messages)? Thanks!

Did you try higher than 256M? There might be some memory temporarily wasted which causes it to go over.

Yep. That seems to cover it. Delivered a message with lmtp and no error in the logs. dovecot.index.cache timestamp updated too.
Thanks! Guess I should have tried something absurdly high before emailing, just to see if that was it.
