Hello, It may be useful to get some hints at http://www.techforce.com.br/content/tutorial-cyrus-imap-aggregator-murder-2316-sobre-debian-gnu-linux-5x-lenny (Use translate service to read, like from google). There you could find the /etc/cyrus.conf file for the lab and its relevant section "services" that may help you: SERVICES { # --- Normal cyrus spool, or Murder backends --- # add or remove based on preferences #AFM 05out2010 deployments may have maxchild 10000. babysit exceeds maxchild + 1 #AFM parameters from master/service.c #AFM -C: alternate config file #AFM -U: max process uses #AFM -T: reuse timeout #AFM -D: call debugger imap cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=1 maxchild=100 maxforkrate=20 proto=tcp4 maxfds=256 -T 10 I am not sure if the file is still suitable for cyrus 2.5.x , but it is a starting point.
