As soon as I give the cyradm password, in the error log appears - May 14 20:10:01 xxxxx imap[24292]: login: localhost [127.0.0.1] cyrus LOGIN User logged in Which means that cyradm logs in as fast as imtest. (I am really sorry, I did not read the logs earlier... I inherited a server and I am not that good in administering it.) And then! - exactly after 15 seconds comes a line - May 14 20:10:26 xxxxx imap[24292]: dracsend: call failed: RPC: Timed out (the 25 seconds where my own counting, seems I count a bit too fast) I feel a bit stupid now, but it seems the drac is operating improperly. I knew something about it, but it never occurred to me that it can cause the delay. I'll try to fix this now, thanks a lot, Jorey! Iv PS drac is in case the clients cannot SMTP authenticate, is that correct? If we assume that only modern e-mail clients are used, is it safe to remove drac? ---- 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
