I was looking at this parameter when I got your mail. Actually it was specified a limit of 4 connections. I tried to setup to 0 ( I mean it could be no limit) but doesn't work, so for a test I did setup it to 30 connections and did some tests, and I saw that each folder that I try to open in thunderbird open a new connection at the server. So if I have 10 users trying to see his email and 5 of they try to open 2 folders at the same time I will have 20 connections on the server. Is that correct? Now I'm really thinking in bring this mail server to my local network but my connection here is a adsl with dynamic IP and just 'cause of it that I let postfix at my hosting server. I thinking if I could turn my local network like the main mail server assigning his dyndns hostname to the prior MX record and turning the hosting server into a MX backup just for a case my adsl get down. Is that configuration possible?
