hello i'm working with dbmail 1.2.11 i'm having problems with the imap. it seems to be very slow when many clients connect to the server no logs error. just slow connection. 200 is aproximately the number of clients pcs the server have. could it be becuase to many clients and so little childrens process. could decreasing maxconnects and increasing nchildren help?. i don't know what MINSPARECHILDREN and MAXSPARECHILDREN are for. the server is an athlon Xp 2000 with 1GB RAM so i don't think that's the machine the problem. the backend i use is postgres. thanks in advance guys.
