Yes,
connections are coming from the ip address of load balancer (also 
checked with a netstat -an)
I know that thunderbird has this problem and i haven't problem since the 
numbers of email domain increase.
I'm not sure the impact of rising the max user ip to an higher value in 
terms of ram consumption and cpu
Any suggestion?
Thanks for your answer!
Paolo
