I'm investigating if Claros Intouch would be an ok solution for a small company that I work with.
I configured Claros InTouch2 V 2.1 with a backend mailserver consisting of a postfix/dovecot installation running under Ubuntu Server 10.04 - 64 bit.
All looks good except for one showstopper:
The web app appears to cause big problems for dovecot, causing it to have to be restarted evey few minutes.
A few seconds / clicks after restarting dovecot, I start seeing this in the mail.log:
...
Feb 21 10:55:34 dlm2-4 dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections): user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.224, lip=192.168.1.224, secured
Feb 21 10:55:34 dlm2-4 dovecot: imap-login: Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections): user=<testuser>, method=PLAIN, rip=192.168.1.224, lip=192.168.1.224, secured
...
I tried to increase the number of connections that dovecot can handle, in case the web app needed more connections (due to the Ajax nature) but it did not seem to have any effect whatsoever (which is highly suspicios in itself).

- Has anyone else seen this behaviour ?
- Is anyone out there able to run Intouch2 with Dovecot without any issues (ie: can I expect this to be relatively easily fixable or should I just start evaluating another product ?) ?
- Also, I tried to ask this question using the forums, but I was unable to register there (got an error when trying to access the page where you register) so I'm adding this as a suspected bug in intouch2 (even though it might very well be an issue with Dovecot).
Also, looking at the dates of posts in the forum - I ask myself if Claros Intouch2 is still actively developed ?

I've added my dovecot.conf and
