RE: [Nagios-users] something instead of ping.

[Marc P. <mp...@en...>]

Just a heads up, there have been numerous reports of this breaking other

experienced problems with some customers connecting to our IMAP servers
once we started doing this, we had no choice but to roll-back the change
and the problems went away. Weird. YMMV.
