Hi,
Busy with dovecot on a linux server with not very much RAM in it (512 MB max total).
On this server dovecot will only handle about 12 users, with never more than 3 IMAP webmail users at a time, and a maximum of 2 POP3 users at a time using it.
I'm going all secure later on, but first I would like your opinion on what configuration best to use with, say, max 5 users busy at one time, and have it use as little RAM and CPU as possible. (Same machine is also running httpd, squirrelmail, php5, postfix, clamd, clamsmtpd, sshd.)
Here's my /etc/dovecot.conf now: # protocols = imap pop3 imap_listen = * pop3_listen = my.servers.ip.address (hidden for this list) ssl_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/imapd.pem ssl_key_file = /etc/ssl/private/imapd.pem ssl_parameters_file = /var/run/dovecot/ssl-parameters.dat ssl_parameters_regenerate = 320 login_dir = /var/run/dovecot-login login = imap login = pop3 default_mail_env = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir mailbox_idle_check_interval = 40 mail_full_filesystem_access = yes login_user = dovecot
login_process_size = 64 login_process_per_connection = no login_processes_count = 4 login_max_processes_count = 4 login_max_logging_users = 5
max_mail_processes = 140
imap_process_size = 192 pop3_process_size = 64
first_valid_uid = 500 last_valid_uid = 520
mail_cache_fields = MessagePart
mbox_locks = fcntl mbox_read_dotlock = no mbox_lock_timeout = 380
auth = default auth_mechanisms = plain auth_userdb = passwd auth_passdb = pam auth_process_size = 64 auth_user = root #
Any insight or advice welcomed!
