We have been increasing our user count and have only run across these errors so far (dovecot-1.0.rc27): Mar 18 02:50:14 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 18 04:07:13 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 18 05:43:14 myhost.mydomain dovecot: pop3-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 18 07:39:38 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 18 07:58:44 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused Mar 18 09:55:20 myhost.mydomain dovecot: imap-login: Can't connect to auth server at default: Connection refused I presume that the changes Timo made in response to my previous inquiry about refused connections at reboot will fix these. My question is: what do clients see when this situation arises? Is it transparent, or does the client/user end up having to re-connect? -- Steven F.

Giving any command then sends to client: * OK Waiting for authentication process to respond.. At least that's what it does when auth process is hanging. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
