We have a mail server (courier, postfix and mysql) with virtual domains

this domain is that all the mail users are behind a linux firewall
(using iptables) and they check the mail every 5 minutes. When we
restart the courier servers (pop3, imap, authdaemon) all seems to be
working fine, but after a couple of hours, we can see too many
courierpop3login processes from this domain and the mail users can't
read the email (seems if like the server is refusing the connection).
More likely that you've hit the upper limit of maximum number of
connections, you can increase this. Edit /usr/lib/courier/etc/pop3d and
review the settings, you'll find that there are 40 sessions started by
default, limited to 4 per ip address.
Try increasing each by x3 and see what happens, but keep an eye on server
performance and be prepared to pull it back a little if required.
Is
there any way of cleaning this processes? thanks in advance and sorry
for my english.
Your English is perfect, no worries there!
