Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.

[peetje]

On some parts of the day i get this error message when i want to login with squirrelmail or webmail.

Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
115 : Operation now in progress

I've searched for an answer on this website and found the following answer.

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=14

but that doesn't seems to be correct because it discribe's an other error.
What i also noticed is that on the moment the errors are there a lot of spam is coming in on one of the accounts on the server. When i put that account on suspend everything works fine again.

did any of you also had to deal with this problem?

It's certainly possible that a server could be so impacted by spam that other services wouldn't run properly.

If it's the same site that always gets all that spam perhaps you should implement SpamBlocker for it.

Maybe update the KB with this information. The fix described wasnt working for me. This is the solotion for me:

vi /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h

/* Number of descriptors that can fit in an `fd_set'. */
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024

Change that to 4096 or whatever you like

Then recompile PHP
