Any suggestions?
April, Show us your imapd settings from the config. Looks like you should lower TIMEOUT to something like 60 or 120. At worst the php-imap layer will have to reconnect, but that is much better that having lots of processes that are timing out on badly behaving clients. People just don't log-out from webmail sessions, so your TIMEOUT should be real tight. If TIMEOUT is already low, but processes still linger in a connected state, we may have a bug. I fixed some locking problems in the process pool code today that lead to strange behaviour in the preforking code. http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000240 So, you may also want to give the svn snapshot a try. But since 2.0.5 is just about ready to roll, you might as well wait a day or. -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
