i have an VPS with 8GB memory and running on Ubuntu 16.04.02 with Plesk Onyx.
Since a while regularly the system crashes on dovecot and/or postfix.
Dovecot version: 2.3.4.1-ubuntu16.04.19031416 Postfix version: 3.1.0-3ubuntu0.3
I can't find how to solve this.
This server mainly is used for e-mail (imap) and 1 small Wordpress website with not much traffic.
Sometimes it's enough to restart the dovecot or postfix service. But sometimes I have to restart my whole server
Error in mail.log from the start of the crash.
