Many thanks for your explanation, Paul. It might be caused by mails you
suggested, but the problem just started in recent two weeks. Before that,
I have used my box for more than four years. Anyway, I will talk to the
network guys about this possibility. Each time after my box came back, I
didn't see any strange mails. Maybe they had been dumped by the network guys?
Thanks again.
Bests,
Q.H.
I had a similar problem a while back with Yahoo mail. I pop my mail off
Yahoo and normally there is no problem. However, one day some wierd spam
or something landed up in the mailbox, and every pop failed after that.
Eventually I had more than 20000 messages in my box. I found that the
only solution was to log in to Yahoo mail and manually remove the
contents of the mailbox. (What a pain over dialup!)
I sometimes have Windows users at work complaining about the same sort
of thing, but it usually turns out to be something like the size of
their mail folder is too great or something silly like that. Sometimes I
have to remove mail messages that exceed 5MB in size so that the mail
flow can continue on the server. (Suse 9.0)
I find that if the incoming mail queue gets too big on the mail server,
then the password failure seems to occur for the users. (By this I mean
greater than 2GB)
cheers
Duncan
