it seems that sometimes, when a corrupt mail (i haven't been able to exactly identify the problem yet, so i can't say exactly) gets in the maildir of the user. it causes the pop3 client to crash in some way or think it is done delivering.
 
the current fix i have is to instruct the user to log on using the webmail (which doesn't seem to be affected) and delete any and all mail he doesn't want to receive/is done with/everything if nothing else works and retry getting them using pop3. that usually fixes the problem (read always)

Subject: [courier-users] pop3 repeated messages

Hi, we’re using courier’s esmtp and pop3 with maildirs and with some email clients (outlook is one of them) our users get their messages over and over again even though they instruct the client to delete the messages from server… they even get them repeatedly on the same PC

 

Anyone experienced this? Any tip? I went through the FAQs and the list archives and found nothing…

 

Thanks

ricardo
