[qmailtoaster] R: [qmailtoaster] Courier IMAP slowdown

2008-09-07 Thread Service, ColliniConsulting S.a.s.
I add... the Linux IMAP Mail Server is in the DMZ lan, joined with a 100Mb FD 
connection to the LAN by passing a Linux iptables Firewall... this maybe the 
bottleneck??

See ya, 

Francesco

 

You didn't tell what kind of server and resources your machine has.
One of my suggestions could be to look at your memory and CPU and
decide if you need to upgrade.

The machine is a HP Proliant ML150G3 Server, Core 2-Duo 2.0 Ghz (about) and a 
Sata Raid-1, mirroring. 

I have got 3 Gb of memory.

Thank you, see ya!

 Hi Eric,
  
 What's the pros and cons of Dovecot?  Will it be worthwhile to replace
 Dovecot with Courier-IMAP in standard QMT?
  
 Thx.

  Look into tuning the courier imap control files. They're in
 /etc.  You
  may also need to look at your data connection(s) and filesystem.
 

 I'd certainly look at tuning first. Where's the bottleneck?

 If that proves unsuccessful, you might try dovecot in place of
 courier-imap.
 I'm running dovecot (http://dovecot.org http://dovecot.org/)
 with some high volume mailboxes on
 a couple toasters with good response times. Not quite that many
 users, but I
 doubt that would be an issue.

The only cons I saw was last auth date would no be present in database.

Look into tuning the courier imap control files. They're in /etc.  You 
may also need to look at your data connection(s) and filesystem.
