Hi,
A couple of questions rather than a problem for once!
We've got our Dovecot server running smoothly now apart from our MD. He's having problems with mail_max_userip_connections. He has 3 (Phone/Laptop/Tablet) items that all connect to the server at about the same time. Which means he's frequently running over the max_userip_connections.
My questions are:
Is there anyway of whitelisting an IP so that it can ignore mail_max_userip_connections=10?
What should we set mail_max_userip_connections too realistically? 10 seems a bit low?
Hi Tom,
The setting mail_max_userip_connections is per IP.
from 20-imap.conf (version 2.0.13, the version we are running)
# Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. #mail_max_userip_connections = 10
I am going to assume he has a different IP for each device, in this case that would allow up to 30 connections.
You need to post your 'doveconf -n' output!
Cheers, Paul
