No, we do not have maxchild set. Also, FYI, this is a very low volume server. We have maybe 10-15 users logged in at once, if that many. We are really just using Cyrus right now in a test mode to see how well everything works. Should we be using maxchild? mars# cat cyrus.conf # 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/socket SERVICES { # add or remove based on preferences imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=0 # imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=0 pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=0 # pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 # 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=0 } 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 } Regards, Dustin >Dustin Puryear wrote: > > > > We continue to have problems with Cyrus.
