Dear sqwebmail-ers,
My first post to the list is to request much need help about some strange
login failures I have encountered. :]
The symptoms:
--
Over time, some users get auth failures when attempting to login to
sqwebmail, until authdaemond is restarted. During the first few hours,
everything is working well, then we start to get random auth failure, and
immediately after we cannot login anymore; It is only happening with some
seemingly "bad" POP accnts, which I can't distinguish from the working ones
(from the same domain)...
I tried to increase the number of authdaemond processes running from 5 to
10 and 15, but there was no changes apparent.
I carefully reviewed the logs, and didn't find anything.
The setup :
--
SqWebMail 3.3.7 built with :
./configure \
--without-gzip \
--with-maxmsgsize=10485760 \

Qmail 1.03 (with some patches)

I should mention that we have recently upgraded from an old setup
(sqwebmail 1.2, vpopmail 5.0).
Please, can someone point me to the right direction ?
Thanks :)
