A cliënt of ours is using 5 workstations in the same network, they use 6 email addresses.

On every computer he wants to connect these 6 amailaddresses via IMAP to our webserver. When the third computer tries to connect it gives a connection error and cannot login to the mailaccounts.

Is this a setting in Dovecot (we use version 1.1.3) or is this a security setting?
Searched through the forum but could not find a simular topic.

Thanks in advance.

Our system uses: Apache 1.3.41 -DirectAdmin 1.32.2 - Exim 4.69 - MySQL 5.0.51a - Named 9.3.3rc2 - dovecot 1.1.3
 
In my mail log I see this error when it happens:

Sep 12 12:52:38 server dovecot[23633]: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded:
 
Found the solution, in my dovecot.conf I wrote the line: mail_max_userip_connections = 50 under protocol imap {

Everything is working fine now.
