[Dovecot] Dovecot DNS queries its own host many times a second

2013-03-24 Thread Dominic Malolepszy
Hi, We have observed that Dovecot appears to make a DNS lookup of its own hostname many times a second. Each Dovecot server in our cluster appears to be doing around 50 queries per second to find out its own hostname. Rsyslog was the first thing we assumed was the cause, however stopping it di

Hi all, I have observed with my Dovecot setup that unique failed logins cause legitimate correct logins to be slowed. I am running two servers, each with two Dovecot instances, a Proxy with Director, and a backend Dovecot. I suspect that the backend instance is throttling connections from the
