Hi:
I'm testing cyrus 2.0.15 (apllying it a mail stress tool) and imapd process hungs... It hangs always when the server has between 145 and 155 imapd processes... When I say "hungs" I mean that, for instance, if I make a connection to port 143, the imapd process doesn't responds properly... [root@cyrus2 bin]# telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to cyrus2. Escape character is '^]' In this situation the server has a lot of memory available, has no uptime and it seems that is doing "nothing"... If the stress is not very hihgh... the cyrus works perfectly... I have configured the imapd process in order to server until 500 childs with the maxchild directive.. cyrus.conf looks like this: # standard standalone server implementation START { # do not delete these entries! mboxlist cmd="ctl_mboxlist -r" deliver cmd="ctl_deliver -r" # this is only necessary if using idled for IMAP IDLE # idled cmd="idled" } # UNIX sockets start with a slash and are put into /var/imap/sockets SERVICES { # add or remove based on preferences imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=20 maxchild=500 # imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=1 pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=10 maxchild=50 # pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=1 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0 # at least one LMTP is required for delivery # lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="lmtp" prefork=0 lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=5 } EVENTS { # this is required checkpoint cmd="ctl_mboxlist -c" period=30 # this is only necessary if using duplicate delivery suppression delprune cmd="ctl_deliver -E 3" period=1440 } Any iadea ?
