[Dovecot] Dovecot 1.1.20+NFS OS changed issue

[गौरव जोशी]

Hi,

I am facing a wierd issue on dovecot while migrating OS of the server.

I have CentOS 5.2 32bit OS , Dovecot 1.1.20 with NFS on the server. When I
am migrating  it to CenOS 5.6 32bit with same Dovecot version. I compiled
the same version i.e. 1.1.20 again. Now when I check the number of
connection on this new server I can see only 8-10 connections for IMAP and
8-10 for POP3, where on old server I can still see the number of connections
crosses 500+. I checked system level configuration which I found identical,
limits set to same as old server, still no change in number of connections.

I even tried the above exercise on CentOS 5.6 64bit version. again the
result is same. I have tried all the changes/configurations I could think
of. Can you please help me to sort out this issue?
