Hi!

I am using Courier 0.46 (Debian sid) using OpenLDAP 2.1.30 as
authentication backend.

I notice that whenever the system load gets higher than (I beleve) 4.0
Courier's authentication stops working. I cannot log in to the mailboxes
using either POP3 or IMAP nor does Courier accept mail using SMTP
("Service currently not available").

I know that 4.0 is a high value for the system load, but especially in
this case I'd like to send myself an email message, notifying me about
the hight load.

Maybe there is some protection within the system, that disables
authentication if the load gets to high. What I'd like to know: Is this
a courier feature or is this something I have to search in my LDAP
server? Would it change if I change the authentication backend to
something else?

(The load is generated by a buggy program unrelated to the mail server,
whenever I kill this process, courier works as expected again.)


Tot kijk
    Matthias
