Hi,
I've been running dovecot for many years, but now i've hit a strange
problem.
when retrieving imap there is sometimes in 1 of 4 imap requests a 4sec
latency.
* notes:
- connected directly to the backends this latency disappears
- removing a director from the loadbalancer(lvs) so i'm the only connected
to the director
this latency disappears too
I would appreciate some feedback of where to look because i tried various
options. (client_limit,process_limit) perhaps its just as simple as to add
more directors
but any feedback would be welcome.
Thank you.
This is the setup:
-- Internet -> LVS -> 3 Directors -> 9 Backends.

ok, i've found out that the directors are in the doveadm penalty list. i believe adding the following solves the issue (still testing but looking promising. login_trusted_networks = 10.0.10.0/24 On Tue, Mar 19, 2019 at 2:19 PM Erik de Waard <erikdewaard at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi, > > I've been running dovecot for many years, but now i've hit a strange > problem. > when retrieving imap there is sometimes in 1 of 4 imap requests a 4sec > latency. > > * notes: > - connected directly to the backends this latency disappears > - removing a director from the loadbalancer(lvs) so i'm the only connected > to the director > this latency disappears too > > I would appreciate some feedback of where to look because i tried various > options.
