Hello,

I have problem that has developed since I migrated from Courier-IMAP 1.17
to 1.4.4

Here is my scenario.

I use vpopmail and have about 11 email users

I was using Courier-IMAP 1.17 on a Red Hat linux 7.1 box, with about 128
MB ram.

I migrated the services to a beefier RH 7.1 box with 256MB ram and RAID 5
(so a much faster machine), and installed 1.4.4

While I had no problems at all on the old box with 1.17, now I am having
sporadic periods where users can not authenticate.

I bumped deamons in the authdaemonrc file up to daemons=20 and that seemed
to help a bit, but not 100%... It still happens.

I am not using any other authntication modules. I configured like this:
./configure --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs --without-authmysql
--without-authldap --with-authvchkpw

the startup scripts launch a bunch of these processes:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authdaemond.plain start

so authdaemond.plain is what is running.

Stopping and starting the imap service alleviates the problem
temporarily.

Some of my clients use webmail, some Netscape, I use pine, and some others
use Outlook. The problem does not seem to be specific to a single email
client.

Also 1 last question in the same vein:

This install is for my staff users, so there are only like 11 email
accounts.  I would LOVE to move my email clients (we are a small web
service provider) off of qpopper and onto courier-imap. I would couple
that with sqwebmail, or squirrelmail and as I was picking through the conf
files trying to find things to tweak to solve this problem, I ran into the
daemons= line.....   What would be the consequences of 300+ users using
webmail and accessing the imap server from the same IP? (obviously not all
300 users would be using at once, but worse case scenario, everyone checks
there email..... can this system handle that kind load?)

Thanks in advance,
