I have a problem from time to time with users who check their email
(usually with Outlook or it's derivatives, but it also happens with
Pegasus) and find that they can't get in. I check their acct by
telnetting to port 110 and find an error "mail being read already", and it
turns out to be a "flag" file in /var/tmp/.pop directory. If I let it sit
for days, it's still there and there is no more active POP3 connection to
the server. I'm using the standard POP3 daemon (in.pop3 that comes with
inetd) that ships with Slackware. How do I prevent this? There appears
to be no discernable pattern and the file does not "timeout" and delete
itself.
