I am running qmail under RedHat 5.2. Everything has been running smoothly until recently when trying to pick up pop mail resulted in a connection being made but then the connection just hangs. Looking at the processes running revealed that there were numerous tcpserver processes running of the form:- tcpserver -v -c40 -u0 -g0 0 pop-3 qmail-popup "hostname" /usr/local/vchkpw-3.1.2/src/vchkpw qmail-pop3d Rebooting removes these additional instances of tcpserver/pop3d and mail can be downloaded correctly. However, after a couple of hours, additional identical processes start to appear and mail can no longer be downloaded. Can anyone explain what is causing this? Many thanks, Peter
