Hi.

I have noticed a strange behaviour for courier imap. It has occured 2 times in 
about 2 weeks, so I have no clue how to get it reproduced.

Courier is set up to allow 200 connections in total and at maximum 50 
connections per IP address.
Our user accounts are configured (via PAM) to allow a maximum of 300 processes 
running for each user account.

Now I saw that a user was no longer able to log in (SSH or IMAP) because his 
account was full with imapd-Processes. There were about 300 imapd-Processes 
for his account and no new processes could be created.


According to the courier configuration, this cannot happen as new connections 
should be denied when 200 processes are running (in total). As this single 
user connects only from one IP address, his limit should be triggered much 
earlier.

As I cannot reproduce this and are not sure where to start debugging, I want 
to ask if someone have had a similar problem with courier or if anyone could 
give me a hint where to start debugging.
