Re: [EXT] max number of connections per ip

Hi, dovecot does not make "connections PER folder". it is your MUA that does it. for example Thunderbird is known to open 1 connection per folder. It's a client setting that can be changed. Sami > On 28 Feb 2020, at 18.21, Esteban L wrote: > > Ok. That is a nice command. > > I am able to s

Interesting, the line: imap_client_workarounds = "delay-newmail" I do not have. What does it do? The problem does seem to manifest itself with initial logins. On 28.02.20 17:28, Remo Mattei wrote: > Here is mine and I have no issue if they client is netted. > > Remo > > protocol imap { > imap

Ok. That is a nice command. I am able to see connections. It doesn't seem remotely close to 500, though. If I understand things correctly, dovecot makes connections PER folder, and keeps making more connections via IDLE (I am not entirely sure how idle works, other than it keeps sockets open)? F

You can usually see from doveadm who or logs if your router/whatever is doing NAT. Which would be the reason why 500 connections wouldn't be enough. Aki > On 27/02/2020 23:21 Esteban L wrote: > > > > It's not behind a proxy (unless the router is acting as a proxy?). Could it > be that my

It's not behind a proxy (unless the router is acting as a proxy?). Could it be that my router is doing some Hairpin NAT tomfoolery? The router is generic, so I run into that from time to time with my webserver. I tried doveadm who, but didn't see anything too peculiar. There is the expect half doz

Is your server behind proxy maybe? Can you see in logs that you get different IPs?  Maybe check with `doveadm who` how many connections you have? Aki On 27/02/2020 22:44 Esteban L < este...@little-beak.com> wrote:
