[qmailtoaster] imap4 configuration files

[Philip]

Hello
I wanted to change a few options/configurations for imapd ..

If you check the run file you can see a
cat /etc/courier/imapd | /usr/bin/envconv
exec /usr/bin/envdir ./env/

You can guess that if you change a few variables in the 
/etc/courier/imapd if may reflect

but not at all, it is  bypassed ...
If you want to change the max connection you need to add a -c X (x= # of 
connections, default 40) to the run file
the MAXDAEMONS or MAXPERIP variables arent used whatever you set them up 
to ..

That's not exactly the way it should work I think.

Even if you can of course set  again a firewall to block ppl from 
connecting

more than x-times ... that option is there and should be used

The reason I wanted to increase the maxdaemons, I noticed that with the 
new courier, sometimes the connections were maxed , more or less coz the 
connection wasnt dropped and kept alive 


I will check more into that .. just found that out while changing the 
MAXDAEMONS :)


Cheers
-Philip

You shouldn't play with those setting because squirrelmail connects using 
the same ip (127.0.0.1) and you are limiting the total connections allowed 
to all of your web users.  You could see if there is a way to allow 
localhost more and limit the rest... I haven't played with the imap conf in 
a couple of years though.
