Not if it's a built-in feature of dbmail, to just switch to maintenance mode without any breakdown. For POP it's clear to me, just answer OK to USER,PASS and 0 to LIST, that looks like no new e-mail arrived. I'm not sure about IMAP, I don't speak that protocol so can't tell what to do in order to "fake" functionality. Maybe "IDLE" or "BUSY" or something? > Now, if you're an ISP that only offers POP service, why not just whip > up a little perl script that pretends to be a POP server that you run > when you take dbmail offline? We're IMAP also, otherwise I wouldn't care... ;-) mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0676/846 914 666 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "curl -s http://zmi.at/zmi.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: AC19 F9D5 36ED CD8A EF38 500E CE14 91F7 1C12 09B4 // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 1C1209B4
