Eh? Isn't that quite high? Some imap clients keep many connections open (thunderbird defaults to 5 IIRC -never got why) but then some users might switch their PCs off from time to time... > MAXDAEMONS is > primarily a protection from resource exhaustion, so it probably > shouldn't be set any higher than it needs to be in order to support > normal operation. Thus the above is an indication of how much ram a server should have for a given number of users. Is it fair to think of 10~15K per daemon? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
