Hello,

the dovecot-example.conf states:

Authentication cache size in kilobytes. 0 means it's disabled.

Note that bsdauth, PAM and vpopmail require cache_key to be set for caching

to be used.

#auth_cache_size = 0

Time to live in seconds for cached data. After this many seconds the cached

record is no longer used, *except* if the main database lookup returns

internal failure. We also try to handle password changes automatically: If

user's previous authentication was successful, but this one wasn't, the

cache isn't used. For now this works only with plaintext authentication.

#auth_cache_ttl = 3600

auth_cache_size = 0, does it mean "cache can grow ad infinitum" or does it mean "no cache at all" ?
