I think yes, we run our POP3 servers (dovecot) with
#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop/restart dovecot.
ulimit -n 8192

and they run fine, if we start it in a normal shell, it whinges because
not enough FD available.

Same for our news server, as for web servers, we call them with 4096
from the apachectl script - since rc.httpd normally calls that, best to
up your limits from in there.
