Hello,

Our IMAP server (is a DA Server) is nonactive for 30 sec. After the 30 sec. it check's very quick. And that is on every account. Now a friend of my said that it is because it's doing idend lookups.

Is this true and how can I switch it off?

Greetings
 
Hello,

You could probably just check the /etc/xinetd.d/imap file to look like:
Code:
# default: on
# description: imapd
service imap
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/imapd
        #log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        #log_on_failure          += USERID
        nice                    = 10
}
This is based on "man xinetd.conf" ... (untested)

This is ours....

# default: on
# description: imapd
service imap
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/imapd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
nice = 10
}


should I commend out the 2 log_on things?
 
Yes, try commenting them out. The reason I say that is because I did "man xinetd.conf"and it said that if USERID is used in the logs, then it will do an ident on the user.
