Hello,
today dovecot almost died again. Actually, the daemon was still running,
but the daemon didn't reply with its greeting message after establishing
a connection. I noticed two things that scare me: One dovecot-process
was running with almost 100% load and there were two extreme users, one
with more than 80 concurrent connections, the other one with about 50
connections.
The only way I found to limit connections was max_mail_processes. But
this doesn't help very much. I'm looking for something like MAXPERIP as
I find in courier-imap. I don't want to switch back to courier-imap
because I cannot limit anything in dovecot.
Regards
Marten
