I have a PHP app which uses imap_open...
Most of the time it works perfectly, but there seem to be plenty of failed connections. My error_log gets full of these kinds of errors:
Sometimes the second line says this:
I've tried different connection strings, using tls on port 143, or no-authenticate, but same problem. The errors tend to bunch up e.g. today I had 14 errors between 10:03 and 10:16, then 2 between 11:42 and 11:43, and then 11 between 12:02 and 12:44. The app was being called about once a minute. I'm guessing that the problem is with mail.webfaction.com being unreliable. Or am I doing something wrong? asked 18 Jan '11, 17:07 chocoreality |
We've been having a lot of problems with one the mail server that hosts your mailboxes - this is what's causing the error's you're seeing. We've removed that server from the pool of machines to which mail.webfaction.com is pointing, but if you still have problems, feel free to open a support ticket to request that we move your mailboxes to a different server. answered 18 Jan '11, 17:19 seanf |
