Well, I had softlimit been set to 4 Mb, then 8 Mb, then 12, then 16, then 20 and now 30 Mb.I agree that 30M seems quite high. Does a value less than 30M work for you? Should we get Andreas to investigate to see if binc has a memory hog (or leak) somewhere?
One of the previous posts has the softlimit set to 30 megs which seems quite high. As combined my binc processes for accessing 5 accounts are using less memory then that.
I raised the limit whenever I saw connections failing because of that!
It happened with mailboxes with big messages with attachments, though it doesn't seem related to the amount of messages, only the size of them.
Limiting the size of memory a program consumes could be an important security measure, since you could calculate the maximum amount of connections you can accept based on the limit of memory you set, so you avoid the server to be thrashed with swap memory.
This memory limit wasn't set on the original run file, but I decided to add it, and also I have modified it to work with VMailMgr and Relay-Control.
This is a Red Hat 8 system, maybe in other systems the memory requirements are different. Could be interesting a bit of analisys of this and have softlimit commented out in the run script for people wanting to limit the memory, with a reasonable suggested value.
Greetings to all of you guys!!!
