I think I've found a race condition in qmail-popbull. If you delete a
bulletin just after qmail-popbull has run, but before the user has
started to download that message, qmail-pop3d says "-ERR unable to
open that message". If you delete a bulletin just after qmail-popbull
has run, but the user doesn't get a chance to download the message,
qmail-pop3d will leave that symlink lying around forever.
So, to see if this is more than a theory, could people running
qmail-popbull check to see if they have dangling symlinks in their
user's directories?
The fix, if necessary, is for qmail-pop3d to remove dangling symlinks
when it finds them.
