[imapproxy] imapproxy issues

[R. Michael Stephens]

Hi!

I have a question or 6.  I was hoping to use imapproxy to ease our IMAP 
performance issues with IMP but have run into a MAJOR show stopper under 
load test.

It seems that after the load gets to about 50 or so simultaneous 
connections (or 10 connections runing about 100 cycles of the test 
script)  the server foes into a close loop on the poll and nolonger 
responds to clients.

Anybody running it under a serious load (we have 20,000+ users and our 
IMP typically will have 6-700 connections on each of 2 servers)???

Ideas, help, etc. would be gladly appreciated!!!

TIA
