Tony:
I suggest you check your system messages file (/var/log/messages) -- I
suspect that you have have had a filesystem or drive error on the device
that holds your /home/vpopmail folder tree. Here's why:
- When there is a serious error found in the mounted filesystem,
CentOS (or RHEL) marks the entire filesystem as READ ONLY
- With the filesystem in read-only mode, your mail system will be
unable to open new files in the $HOME (which is a folder in
/home/vpopmail/domains/... tree)
If you are seeing errors there, I shouldn't have to tell you to be
careful about getting the data into a safe(r) place.
Good Luck

Could be that inode or File descriptor limit had been reached.
What's your file system type?

Strangest thing it just stopped responding that way.
I rebooted the system and it stopped.
I have no idea why it started nor why rebooting stopped it.

Hi folks,
I have no idea what this is but noone can get email.
Trying to retrieve mail generates the error...
Sending of password for [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
did not succeed.
Mail server ServerName responded: this user has no $HOME/Maildir
Anyone any ideas please? I will keep searching the net meanwhile.
TIA.
