Thank you very much for the reply.

When I run top, I always see imapd on the top 5 spots. Right now the load is 2.67. I reset the Maxdaemons and maxperIP to 300 from a 1000, but still no much better.

Here is an example of the top most entry of "top":

11212 jpangbor 15 0 832 832 592 S 2.8 0.0 0:03 imapd

Thank you

Ogden

Hi,

I have a few questions regarding the server load on our mail server.

A few weeks ago, the server load would always rise with Sendmail and Courier IMAP (the package from Inter7). Over the weekend, I moved everything over to Qmail.

As far as the MTA is concerned, everything works fine. However, the server load is still high, rising over 5.00 sometimes, and users complain of their email client responding very slowly from time to time.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 is running with kernel 2.4.18-3 and the server itself is powerful with over 1Gb of RAM. The number of users who utilize IMAP mail is roughly 200.

The Maxdaemons and maxperIP is set to a 1000. Is this maybe a problem? Authmodules is "authdaemon".

Courier IMAP 1.7.0 is installed with the following configure options:

-enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs --without-authldap' --without-authpam --without-authplain --with-authshadow' -prefix=/usr/lib/courier-imap --with-authchangepwdir=/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib --with-db=gdbm --with-userdb=/etc/userdb --with-make datprog=/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/makedatprog --with-mailuser=root --without-socks --with-authchangepwdir=/var/tmp/dev/null --with-package=courier-imap --with-version=1.7.0

Thank you very much for any insight.
