Re: [Dovecot] How to run Dovecot as IMAP Proxy?
So I guess I will take the problem to imapproxy group and find out if I can get a clue to the issue I am facing.
BTW, just to confirm once again, are there any known issues with Dovecot & imapproxyd? Because I find it strange that there should be around 8000 established connections between Squirrelmail and imapproxyd & around 400 connections between imapproxyd and Dovecot while on the mail server I see only a couple of connections (typically around 40). Or is it some configuration in Dovecot which is causing this kind of behavior, as I did not notice this while running uw-imap.

missed your OP post here (anti spam must have ate it, i think because of very-long-lines) but I read the archives, do you mean up-imapproxy from http://www.imapproxy.org ? none, I've been using those them together for a very long time.
I suspect from reading the archives you don't mean it since it doesnt use any user databases, perhaps you need to have a look at it. If you are using it. then you need to first make sure you are using current version, and not some 10 year old version included in a debian or redhat install. suggest using up-imapproxy-1.2.7rc2.tar.gz thats been very stable for some time and I think Dave will be issuing a stable 1.7.2 in the near future, we use it on production boxes without a single glitch, but if your pedantic or have company politics that forbid RC/Betas, 1.2.6 will still do the job fine.

You will not get any support for 0.99 here, unless Timo can provide it. It is *that* old, and your decision to use it - regardless of your claimed reason - is baffling.
The only experience I had with it - what, 5 years ago? - was its broken mbox problem... we had to move to courier because of it.

We use recent Dovecot from atrpms.net with RHEL 5.3. Userbase is 25.000. Dovecot runs on three machines - as master (proxy) and with two slaves.
The system is stable. We hardly need to touch it.
