How can I disable this function? This has nothing to do with Sendmail, which is not involved in the process of 'getting your mail' - this files are lock files managed by your POP3 server. If you disconnect in the middle of a POP3 session your server might fail to clean up after itself - this occasionally happens here using Qpopper, but not very often. If it is happening very frequently you should probably look at your POP3 server and client programs, and perhaps consider alternatives. -- Kendall Lister, Systems Operator for Charon I.S. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charon Information Services - Friendly, Cheap Melbourne ISP: 9589 7781 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
