I run a small shop and have around ~18 users. Checking just now I have 70 imap processes. Is there an idle value I need to set so these process don't hang around? All users use sieve, all users but two use imap. The two remaining use pop. -------------------------------- /etc/cyrus.conf (part) SERVICES { # add or remove based on preferences imap cmd="imapd" listen="imap" prefork=10 imaps cmd="imapd -s" listen="imaps" prefork=5 pop3 cmd="pop3d" listen="pop3" prefork=2 pop3s cmd="pop3d -s" listen="pop3s" prefork=2 sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=10 # these are only necessary if receiving/exporting usenet via NNTP # nntp cmd="nntpd" listen="nntp" prefork=3 # nntps cmd="nntpd -s" listen="nntps" prefork=1 # at least one LMTP is required for delivery # lmtp cmd="lmtpd" listen="localhost:lmtp" prefork=1 lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=10 # this is only necessary if using notifications # notify cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/notify" proto="udp" prefork=1 } -------------------------------- /etc/cyrus.conf (part) Mike ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
