### Describe your issue
I have this error message :
dovecot: master: Warning: service(imap-login): process\_limit (100) reached, client connections are being dropped
but I have already modified the file
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf
The first 2 lines are
default\_process\_limit = 200
default\_client\_limit = 1250
And so I don’t really understand why this error message remains at 100,
I specify that the postfix and dovecot services were restarted after the modification,

J’ai lancé la commande suivante :
> `grep -r process_limit /etc/`
ce qu’il m’a trouvé :
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf:default\_process\_limit = 200
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: #process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf: process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original:default\_process\_limit = 150
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-master.conf.original: #process\_limit = 1024
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf: #process\_limit = 1024

I have the impression that it does not take into account the configuration files located in /etc/dovecot/conf.d
in /etc/dovecot/dovecont.conf , i have
!include yunohost.d/pre-ext.conf ( first line , and )
!include yunohost.d/post-ext.conf
But i don’t have !include /conf.d
