Jake,

Yes, it is good to be back. It has been a long time since I have contributed to the qmailtoaster.

I did a search of the system, and I don't have any .qmail files in any of the problem accounts. I should also note, that I am not running TLS, Spamd, clamd, or the likes on this box. I have disabled pop3-ssl, and imap-ssl. I hacked the install script to just install what I needed. I edited the .spec file for qmail to get rid of TLS. I am running an old 1.2.10 version, but it hass been solid for over a year. Do you have any ideas on what I should look into next?

hostname is correct, me file is correct, defaulthost is correct, and the defaultdomain is correct.

I have this guy Mike who has it really bad. Infact, he is pop3, and when he does a Send & Recieve, then his messages never leave the new folder in his Maildir. They just stay there, so that is part of the problem. The permissions are correct, I looked at them twice. Very strange!

Thanks for your help!
Nate

Hello Everyone,

I am having a problem with the qmail-pop3 daemon. Not quite sure how to diagnose the problem. System has been running great for the past couple of Months. I am running Cent OS 4.3. I did a yum update last week, and had a bunch of updates. After running these updates, my POP3 daemon seems to be wigging out. When a user connects via outlook, the pop3 damon takes a really long time (15 to 20 seconds) to start to download the messages. This is on a Local LAN. It is sending Duplicate e-mails to outlook as well. This doesn't happen with IMAP Users. If they hit send & receive , they get messages. If they hit it again, they get the same 5 messages, plus any new ones, and so forth. I have restarted the box, and looked in any log file I could find with POP3 stuff. I saw nothing unusual. I am pretty sure that one of the updates that happened last week was mysql. Could that have something to do with it? Let me know where I can look for errors, or the cause of this.

Hey Nate. Long time no see. Hope all is well with you, and glad to see you back. I had a user last week start getting "duplicates", on a FC4 machine I run. I have not had the problem on any of the Cent4.3/4.1/3.4 boxes I'm running. The problem (as far as I can tell, since it's sporadic) was the old mailfilter script defined in the .qmail file for each user. I removed this, and the problem seems to have gone away for the moment. Of special note, I also had upped my spamd/run file to allow more processes during the same time-frame:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/spamd --max-children=6 -L -x -u vpopmail -s stderr 2>&1

I had upped it to 9 children and that seemed to soak my memory - 495M total, 21 free with children set at 9, 101 free with children set at 6. Might be worth note to take a peek at this. If the message hangs too long (can be caused by swaps), qmail-smtpd thinks the message got lost and resends it again resulting in your duplicates. Also double check (I know you set it up right, but I have to ask...) your hostname, me file, defaulthost, and defaultdomain files.
