Hi,
 
I am facing problems with pop3 connections.
I am using postfix, courier-imap with mysql. We ae facing problem with one of the accounts. The pop3 connection terminates abnormally while downloading a specific mail. I saw the contents of the mail and it said
 
---------- header starts -----------
Received: from LAVAL-N567I4B66 (unknown [209.121.203.253])
        by my.smtpserver.com (Postfix) with SMTP

---------- header ends -------------
 
 
---------- email client error message starts -----------
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'my.smtpserver.com', Server: 'my.smtpserver.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '+OK 452 octets follow.', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
---------- error message ends -----------
 
(The actual smtp server has been replaced by my.smtpserver.com in the header.)
The mail does not contain anything expect the headers.
 
After deleting this mail manually from maildir I was above to download mails until I came across another similar mail. The error message displayed by outlook express says:
 
 
I think the problem is with the email client but my concern is that is such a mail(header) valid, If not then isnt it handled by the POP3/SMTP server.
 
Thanks,
~Bhavin.
