We're using dbmail 2.2.10 on postgresql 8.2.7 We just migrated 20 users to this system from a previous mysql implementation.
We are having a bunch of stability problems. I have not found a good explanation on the dbmail parameters in dbmail.conf, including the definitions of: NCHILDREN=30 # Default number of child processes to start. MAXCHILDREN=100 # Maximum number of child processes allowed. MINSPARECHILDREN=30 # Unused children to always have availale. MAXSPARECHILDREN=50 # Maximum unused children allowed to be active. MAXCONNECTS=200 I assume MAXCONNECTS is database connections. This number must be less then the database max_Connections? There is a MAXCONNECTS variable in the [DBMAIL] [POP] and [IMAP] sections. Does the total of all these values have to be less then the database max_connections, or each individual one? If I have 30 users, each using a single client, will I ever need more then 30 children? Does each child use one connection? I also need to know the appropriate postgresql configuration parameters. Is there a baseline defined, or would someone be willing to share their configuration, such as the database settings that are relevant for postgresql are: a,b and c, minimum value should be Q which will work very well for X users, for each additional user, increment by Y. The same thing for the dbmail configuration file.
