Ewald,

MAXCONNECTS is not the number of allowed simultaneous connections, but the number of connections after which an imapd child is killed and respawned (i.e. MaxRequestsPerChild in apache).

The number of simultaneous connections is restricted by the MAXCHILDREN setting.

regards,
Leander

That's very high. Use such high values only if you trust dbmail-imapd not to
suffer from memory leaks :-)

Yes and it's the default in CVS. I did not change anything


I have overseen this and my server had a problem with 7000 Imap connections

Oh? What kind of problems? I use *low* values for max connections (like 10 or
20), so imap daemons die often, to be respawned by the parent process.


no the dbmail was running fine but the server was very slow ;)
I noticed this in evolution

My idea was that maybe in the cvs this could be changed to a lower value.

The Mail server which needs 10000 IMAP connections must be really huge ;)
