I have an issue whereby clients are unable to connect to Courier Imap with the error that there are too many connections from their IP. I have changed the following parameter as follows: MAXPERIP=40 in the imapd file. I restarted courier imap, but still the same problem.

That's the maximum total number of connections. There's also a different setting for the maximum number of connections from the same IP address, which may or may not apply to you.

According to all the documentation I've been looking at the MAXPERIP parameter is precisely the parameter for configuring the number of simultaneous connections of the same IP address. MAXDAEMONS may be the parameter you're referring to, no? Anyhow, I had both MAXPERIP and MAXDAEMONS set at 40. I changed MAXDAEMONS to 80, but left MAXPERIP at 40. So far it seems to be working.

I spoke too soon. I'm wondering do I need to set a MAXPERIP in the imapd-ssl file?
