I've spent some time trying to reproduce this problem but all my attempts have been unsuccessful so far.
Using a hardy dovecot server, I've tried to reproduce the unable to connect problem. I ran tests with ~ 200 clients connecting concurrently. I hit the default login_max_processes_count limit (set to 128). Once raised to 256, all clients were able to successfully login. I've attached the scripts used to do the test. ** Attachment added: "client login test" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13464209/load_test.py ** Changed in: dovecot (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- connection problems under load with hardy dovecot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189616 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dovecot in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
