I've noticed that when I start dbmail-X there always seem to be a large number of TIME_WAIT connections reported by netstat. All of these connections are going to my postgres database.
For example, I only have IMAP running, with the following: NCHILDREN=5 MAXCHILDREN=20 MINSPARECHILDREN=2 MAXSPARECHILDREN=4 MAXCONNECTS=10000 TIMEOUT=4000 In my netstat output, I have 5 "established" connection to the database, and then at a minimum of 48 in "time_wait". That number grows to 55, and then drops back to 48. When I run IMAP with a trace level of 9, it shows the starting of the 5 children and then nothing else. (this is a test server no traffic). I'm lost as to why this is happening, anyone else see this, or know why it happens? TIA -- David A.
