Hi,

i ve a mail server to manage with some email accounts but with multiples users (+50) using a common email.
it indicates sometimes that it can't connect cause too many connections.

what are the good options to allow a lot of users for a specific account ?

i modifyied these options :
auth_worker_max_count = 60
mail_max_userip_connections = 60

is it sufficient ?

dovecot -n :

auth_worker_max_count = 60
mail_location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
namespace inbox {
  inbox = yes
  location = 
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  prefix = 
}
passdb {
  driver = pam
}
protocols = " imap"
service imap-login {
  inet_listener imaps {
    port = 993
    ssl = yes
  }
}
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem
ssl_key =  # hidden, use -P to show it
userdb {
  driver = passwd
}
protocol imap {
  mail_max_userip_connections = 60
}
