I'm not familiar with those parameters. All I did was:

  lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=10 
maxchild=100

How do I do that? I can't find anything about those parameters in the 
cyrus.conf manpage. Oh, this is a parameter for lmtpd, right? So you say I 
should do it like this:

  lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd -U 100 -T 60" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" 
prefork=10 maxchild=100

I'll give that a try, thanks.

What I don't get is that the lmtpd manpage claims "-T 60" to be the default 
...

Cheers, Sebastian
