Francois,
I am not an xinetd expert, but have you checked out the cps config
parameter to xinetd? By default, xinetd limits the number of incoming
connections to 50 per second and if it hits this limit, then it will
refuse any connection for 10 seconds. Now, I can't imagine getting 50
connections per second unless you have a large population that is using a
web based IMAP client (such as SquirrelMail) that initiates a new
connection for every action.
The reason I ask is that the piece of log file you presented indicates
that the client disconnected from binc, and not the other way around.
Everything looks normal.
What happens after all instances going down? Does it eventually come back
up by itself or do you have to do something to restrat binc? Could there
be some resource exhaustion? Such as quotas being exceeded or CPU
spiking? Would you be able to post your log files on the a Web site and
send us the URL the next time this happens?
Regards,
Henry

Hi everybody,
...slight disturbances with bincimap when a great deal of users are
requesting the server : some instances of imap hanghup and, after a few
time, all the instances are down.
See the log below :

I'm using bincimap 1.2.2, xinetd 2.3.12 and Redhat 7.3 pro on a e-server
IBM.
Any idea ?
Thanks everybody !
François
