maxperc was not set by gentoo. i added it to the config scripts so that
pop3d comes up with:
-address=0 -stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/courierlogger
-stderrloggername=pop3d -maxprocs=80 -maxperip=20
-pid=/var/run/pop3d.pid -nodnslookup -noidentlookup -maxperc=40 110
/usr/sbin/pop3login /usr/sbin/courier-pop3d .maildir
my system is p2,4ghz celeron with 1gig ram.
ip upgraded the ram yesterday and after 20 hours uptime i get:
Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 100.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi,
0.0% si
Mem: 902880k total, 761996k used, 140884k free, 61536k buffers
Swap: 3886156k total, 0k used, 3886156k free, 425344k cached
do you think that
-maxprocs=80 -maxperip=20 -maxperc=40
will fit?

i downloaded the sources and read them. i couldn't find any sequence
that loggs the hitted limits. a grep for "maxper" in /var/log/messages
did not return any result.
the sources of courier-imap-4.0.1 (which i am using) tcpd.c say:
---- snip ----
if (j >= sizeof(*addr) &&
++ipcnt >= maxperip)
_exit(0); /* Too many from same IP address */
if ( j >= sizeof(*addr)-1 &&
++ccnt >= maxperc)
_exit(0); /* Too many from same netblock */
---- snip ----

the default value of courier is MAXPERIP:4. of course i changed this

What about MAXPERC?
maybe the courier does not load the config file at startup? it is
located with a standard gentoo-installation in /etc/courier-imap/pop3d
That's not the standard, default, location of Courier-IMAP's
configuration files.
how can i dump the settings of a running courier to verify the
maxperip parameter?
You can't, but if you're hitting either of those limits, the server will
send a notice to syslog.
