  hi all,

  There is some thing to configure or to check on unified or on murder ?
 
 Maybe what you see is related to this?

Re: 2.4.7 mailbox rename looses mail

2011-04-06 Thread Wolfgang Breyha
Hi again!

It looks like these changes broke it:
http://git.cyrusimap.org/cyrus-imapd/commit/?id=463f7571f8aeca00630a2bc26ebf24fadf844b4c

Versions up to 2.4.6 should be fine. Only 2.4.7 and 2.4.8 prereleases are
affected.

Greetings, Wolfgang

Local delivery seems to limit IMAP performance

2011-04-06 Thread Gary Mills
We run cyrus-imapd-2.3.8 in a murder configuration with one front end
and one back end server.  One thing I've noticed is that local message
delivery has a pronounced effect on IMAP client performance.  We've
had to limit the number of lmtpd processes to 64 on both servers to
maintain an adequate level of IMAP performance.  At peak times, we
will have over 6000 IMAP sessions and over 500 SMTP sessions on the
front end.  The result is that local deliveries are often delayed
during peak times.

What it is about lmtpd that causes it to affect IMAP client
performance so profoundly?  Can anything be done about this?

When I have an IMAP session running with mutt, it displays one line
for each message, and displays the contents quite quickly as I select
each message.  However, I've noticed that when I get a new delivery
(for which I get a separate notification), there's a long delay when I
select the next message.  It must be rebuilding some indexes at that
time, and fetching the new copies.  Is that correct?  What could we do
to improve this procedure?

+1(i.e. I'd also like to learn more about these aspects)


We have a single instance Cyrus server 2.3.16 and five (5) LMTPD's already
give us the maximum delivery performance.
We routinely deliver over 20k messages per hour, the record stands at 27k.
That's with between 3,000 and 4,000 open IMAP sessions and a few dozen POP
users at any given time.

mailboxes.db is Skiplist with 514,000 entries, on SSD


Q:
How many deliveries per hour are achieved by other large Cyrus installations ?
