Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

So it means like this? A established connection = A pop3-login process

I'm having a strange phenomenon that there are 5000 established connections, but pop3-login processes are more than 5000.

Regards,

Hi,

I would like to know if the pop3-login process would be create more than one while a user connection is established.

I appologize if I don't understand your question correctly:

There will be login_processes_count login processes listening for new connections. And there will be a new pop3-login process for each new established user connection until the number of login processes reach the value defined in login_max_processes_count.

imap-login and pop3-login processes handle new IMAP and POP3 connections until user has logged in.

I'm sorry to ask you this kind of question...

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I've changed it which you suggested to me. It works well.

Can I ask you one more thing? Is there any parameter to check the time of login processes?

dovecot-auth: Login process has too old (125s) requests, killing it.

It should be about that.

How much more? Anyway, with that many connections you should probably switch to running login_process_per_connection=no. http://wiki.dovecot.org/LoginProcess

Do you have anything else in logs? This shouldn't be happening. I've never seen it happen before..

Oh no. You're using Dovecot v0.99.x. That's an incredibly old version, upgrade!
