The computer talks does it? "Sorry dude that password's wrong, nick
off." I don't think so somehow. Now, if you were to telnet to port
110 and manually login, what would the error say? Authorisation
failed. This is the generic error meaning "I CAN'T HANDLE THE STRESS!"
cos something has exploded.
So, when you echo "" > Mailbox, you are missing one crucial
step. Change the ownerships BACK to the owner. ie the user that will
be logging in to retrieve that mail. I'm not even going to explain
why or how. Search the archives.
Basically, what you are doing is silly. Modifying a file which could
be in use by some other process (especially log files) is likely to
cause you hell. BTW What do you mean the maildir log file? If you mean
your mail log, just restart your logger (splogger, multilog, whatever)
via killall -HUP logapp .
