Keeping a connection open to LDAP allows much higher throughput so opening a new connection when needed would degrade the service.

LDAP is one of those services that should always be available because it is a core authentication service so don't understand why yours is disconnecting.

Monitoring CAN fix this, nagios is used here at Persistent Objects but any good monitoring software will work by checking if the service is running and restart if not. Completely automatic and transparent to users. Rarely kicks in as dbmail is so reliable.

Not sure why you are getting annoyed at dbmail, I would be frustrated at LDAP as it is 100% reliable here.

Hi,

Anyone a clue about this ? I think some monitoring can't fix this. So
I'm figuring out a solution.

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering why DBmail needs a restart every time it's disconnected
from the ldap server.

This actually kinda annoys me because it should just do a lookup if
needed and not have the connection open forever and die when it loses
it.

Anyone a clue why this happens and how to workaround it ?

Thanks!

Matt
