Hi all, I hope some can help me with my problem. I've a server running Cyrus imap on Debian 6 Squeeze, and it's being used by 150 user (aprox). When imap max processes is reached, load average starts to increase, so I set maxchild to 1000. The max childs reached is around 700 now, so load average is not increasing. But there I think there are a lot of childs that could be killed (some of them are older than one month). Could anyone help me to find a solution for that problem? My configuration for imapd is: imaps cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=1000 Could anyone try to find a solution? Thanks in advance
