[Dovecot] A question about director_user_expire (was Re: auth error using director)

[Angel L. Mateo]

	Sorry. I have solved the problem. I haven't uncommented the mode 
directives for the director service, so, I guess, I had a permissions 
problem.

	Just a question about director... The main purpose of it it's to ensure 
that all connections from a user are directed to the same backend 
server, so you could rely on correct indexes and minimize index 
regenerations.

	But, I could see there is director_user_expire option, with a default 
value of 15 minutes. By other way, If I run doveadm director status 
<user> I could see that there is a hashed server.

	Does it means that there is no warrantee that if I connect today to 
server node1 the connection for tomorrow will be directed to the same 
server (because this timeout would expire)?

	Or does it means that whenever as possible I will be directed to this 
hashed server and I will be directed to other server just when my hashed 
server is down (or I have another active session because of a previous 
downtime)?
