[vchkpw] Resolution: Re: [vchkpw] libvpopmail + squirrelmail/courier-imap

Just for list completeness, upgrading from 5.2.1 to 5.3.29 cured my problem. 
Thanks all.

Another link to Michael Bowes documentation: (which is updating behind me as 
I work down the steps!)

You should not use vpopmail-5.2.1, it contains some nasty bugs that can
cause unreliable operation of courier-imap (especially if you compiled
courier with --with-authdaemon)
You could either go for vpopmail-5.2.2, or vpopmail-5.3.28

Once you have upgraded your vpopmail, you will also need to go and rebuild
your other add-on apps like qmailadmin and courier-imap, so that they can
link against the updated vpopmail code.

No, 512 doesnt make any difference, as soon as I open another browser and 
sign into a different account, the first one fails to the login screen.



Mine are set to 40 and 40, as per Michaels notes.. will try 512

Restarting courier-imap fixes this temporarily.
in your courier-imap configuration (normally 
/usr/local/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd)

what do you have the values set at for:

MAXDAEMONS=
MAXPERIP=
?

I set mine to 512 each. why? squirrelmail connects normally on localhost, 
127.0.0.1. which means a lot of concurrent connections to localhost. If you 
have a small value for those two variables, people will be locked out pretty 
quickly.
