How can I restart IMAP from CLI, please ?

PFM

New Pleskian
Hello,

I just updated to Plesk 11.5 and I am having some issues with mail server and SMTP (I see that many other users have the same issues).

In addition, I don't know how can I restart Imap server by command line.

Before this 11.5 update, I used this command:

Code:
service imapd restart

but now it doesn't work anymore....

I also tried:

/etc/init.d/courier-imap stop
/etc/init.d/courier-imap start

Also these commands don't work anymore....

-bash: /etc/init.d/courier-imap: No such file or directory

Any ideas, please ?

Thanks, best regards

Hi Igor,

looking at

Code:
tail /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

I read:

Code:
Jul  4 11:00:52 server courier-imaps: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:78.x.x.x
Jul  4 11:00:56 server courier-imaps: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:78.x.x.x

I already used:

Code:
perl -p -i -e 's/^MAXDAEMONS=40/MAXDAEMONS=80/g' /etc/courier-imap/imapd
perl -p -i -e 's/^MAXPERIP=4/MAXPERIP=40/g' /etc/courier-imap/imapd

But I still get this error, since I updated to Plesk 11.5...

The problem is that I cannot save anymore my emails in sent-mail, because Thunderbird says that it is impossible....and looking at mail log I read that error ("Maximum connection limit reached..:").

How can I solve, please?

Thanks
