Issues with maximum sessions in Dovecot

Hello everyone. I am running Ubuntu 12.4 perfect server NGINX and running into the following error:
dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded

I went to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf but I don't see there where to increase it past 10. How do I do this?

TIA

try this

try this

first
dovecot -a | grep mail_max_userip_connections

You should see how many connections is allowed for userip.

next
open dovecot.conf and paste this in global section
mail_max_userip_connections = 30

 

Thanks but I'm still a bit confused

Thanks a lot for the reply, but what do you mean by global part?

It mean, you have to paste this just on top of dovecot.conf file for example

 

Thanks you so much!

Destine, thank you so much. I figured out what you meant after doing a little more looking on GOOGLE. I really appreciate the help!!
