Hello to everyone out there!
Yet another time we have the same old problem we experience since
ages with the current qpopper 3.1.2 on Linux (2.2.16 SMP).
Here are the logs:

Two times, everything was OK.

The qpopper-process (PID 24123) was still laying around at this time,
as well as the .ba3760.pop - lock-file. Killing it with -HUP does nothing,
I need to use -TERM, which removes the process from the table, but
doesn't clean up the lock file. So I have to clean up myself.
We are experiencing this every now and then, and only with some
users. But those few users trigger the problem almost every day. At
least one of them used Microsoft Outlook (don't know which version).
Do I need to go for another POP3 server software? Is there still any
ongoing development for the free version of qpopper?
Sincerely,
Oliver Fleischmann
