imap down

[vdvm]

Hi,

Regularly i get messages from my zabbix monitor that imap is down. When i was looking around this forum i saw that it could have something to do with inetd.

When i restarted inetd, imap came back up again.

Should i replace inetd with xinetd? (debian -> apt-get install xinetd)

Should i also reinstall imapd?

rm -f /usr/sbin/imapd
cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./imapd.sh

You can check your Exim logfiles. In my case (also a Debian box) IMAP had also problems. It was detected as looping and therefor being killed. There's a value max connections for it. By incresing that value (or decrease the value for checking mail every x minutes in your e-mail client) my problem was gone.

Thank you.

Were can i find the exim logfiles?
Were can i change the open imap connections?

Hmm, maybe you have to introduce yourself to Debian before using DA.

Log files: /var/log

Use locate exim.conf (/etc/exim.conf)
