So, our CEO is getting an intermittent login failure and I'm not sure how to track it down. I checked the logs and I see entries like this that coincide with his complaints:

Jun 18 21:16:00 web05 imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=THE_CEO, ip=[::ffff:10.8.167.140]

Now, what makes these entries so odd is that there are no corresponding logs for authdaemond.

Are there any other errors from imapd? Perhaps the queue for authdaemon is full and imapd can't connect. If that were the case, you'd want to find out how long your queries are taking, and whether or not you can speed that up.

I greatly appreciate your writing, Gordon. The only thing about this is that I think I've seen what you're talking about (the queue being full). When I've seen this, I get "Input/output" errors from Courier IMAP. This is always fixed by either:

- Increasing threads
- Adding another Courier IMAP/Authlib front end proxy to the load balancer
- Fixing the database problem  ;-)

I think this problem is different and it seems to be only happening to this user. Also, there are no other errors from imapd when this happens.
