Just that if there were couriertls processes, they'd be counted. It'd inflate your count a little (up to double). > First: No, all processes I find are named "/usr/bin/imapd > /home/user/mailbox/".

Right, but the couriertls will also have that in its process title. > Second: And if you're right, this does not change anything about my question. > I configured a limit of 200 parallel IMAP connections.

Yes, 400 connections and up to 800 processes (potentially more if you have gamin and enabled enhanced IDLE). > Let's recall: I counted 4095 processes.

I really only meant to clarify that the manner in which you were counting was potentially inaccurate. There seems to clearly be something else going on. > (And to be clear: No, this is not the case.

I trust that you do, but the string you said you were searching for will appear in process titles other than the imapd process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
