]]> Comment on Plesk: Improve SMTP speed by John http://www.digitalmurph.com/wordpress/?p=5&cpage=1#comment-1017 John Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:55:00 +0000 http://www.digitalmurph.com/wordpress/?p=5#comment-1017 I always thought the default was 30 seconds as we get a lot of clients with Plesk servers saying "mail is stuck in the outbox for at least 30 seconds when trying to send". Normally their ADSL IP doesn't have a PTR record which causes the slowdown, so, the -Rt0 does the trick. It's strange that Parallels haven't put an option in the control panel to control this setting... people have been moaning about it for years.

]]> Comment on SSL certificate setup for pop3s, imaps, smtps on Plesk by Dan http://www.digitalmurph.com/wordpress/?p=16&cpage=1#comment-914 Dan Thu, 02 Jul 2009 03:12:40 +0000 http://www.digitalmurph.com/wordpress/?p=16#comment-914 Also found this: Plesk comes configured with a limit of 4 connections per IP address and a limit of 40 connections total. Modern IMAP clients such as Mozilla Thunderbird use mailbox caching to open up multiple connections to increase performance. In the case of Thunderbird, it opens up 5 connections by default which is already 1 connection more than Courier-IMAP’s default restriction. Add another few computers behind a firewall and those additional users won’t be able to connect at all since a single Thunderbird client is already utilizing all 4 connections. http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/259/(dv)+HOWTO%3A+Raise+Courier-IMAP+Connections Also found this:

The setting can also be changed to "REQUIREPEER" to require all SSL/TLS connections to provide a certificate. Otherwise, it is optional. If the mail client provides an SSL certificate, it may be used to authenticate. Without a certificate, password-based authentication remains an option. http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/INSTALL.html I found this helped aswell:

The real answer is to petition Apple to change the iPhone UI to include an option to trust the certificate.
