using the mbox2maildir routines, I converted myself. During that process I
ran outta disk space - oh well.
turned off the machine, I went to sleep.
This morning I turned on the machine. Saw that there were some 30000 msgs
of about 144megs of data in my Maildir.
Told netscape ( on a remote unix machine ) to "Get Mesg", which logged into
my account on the qmail/server machine & began processing . Some 45 mins
later( on a 486/66mhz ) It appears that the qmail-pop3 daemon gave up ( ie
that process disappeared ). Now in its place there are 4 qmail-pop3d
daemons spinning in its stead.
The remote mail-reader ( appears to have done nothing ie it didn't read
that ~30000 msgs ), but it regained control back ( ie "get mesg" button is
no longer grey'ed out )
The daemon is on a Redhat(6.1)/linux/i386 box.
gat
Btw: I suppose no-one can tell me why /var/qmail/sendmail <gat@localhost>
fails with qmail.
