Solved Max imap connection limits per ip and increasing?

[Richard G]

What are the maximum imap connection limits per ip?
I've read somewhere this would be 20 by default. But are closed timeout connections (if exist) are also counted to this limit? Or does imap not have such timout or time_wait settings? I presume not, but just want to be sure.

A customer of mine has 14 account, maybe they click the "send/receive" button more often or something like that, so I just want to be sure they won't reach that 20 per ip limit.

If this is possible, how can I increase this limit to lets say 30 per ip?

Hello,

Run

doveconf -n

to see the configuration of dovecot on the server.

I have

mail_max_userip_connections = 15

your setup might differ.

As far as possible I've got everything by default so I also got mail_max_userip_connections = 15.

When doing Google one gets an answer of 20.

Then I will adjust this to 20. Due to this line I've found another thread which said nowadays this needs the be changed here:

For dovecot 2.4, this file should be in /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/custom/dovecot/2.4/conf/mail_max_userip_connections.conf.

Thank you!
