we are running a redhat 6.2 box as a pop mail server with qpopper in
server mode.  we have been using qpopper 3.1.2 and several versions
before that.  recently tried 4.0 and everything looked ok except these
errors started showing up in the logs.

Apr 29 11:45:54 mail popper[18125]: Unable to move
/var/spool/poptemp/.username.pop
to /var/spool/mail/username: Invalid cross-device link (18)

i built the binary with

--enable-servermode
--enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/poptemp
--enable-cache-dir=/var/spool/popcache

did not use the enable-cache before with 3.1.2.  all other options the
same as before.  the only other thing we did different with 4.0 is using
the -F option from the command line, popper -sF.  also we run a quota on
/var/spoo/mail, and no quota on the other 2 dirs (the other dirs have
plenty of available space).  does 4.0 now need more space
/var/spool/mail even though it was successfully using the poptemp and
popcache dirs, we verified files were being created there.

does anyone have any information on this error, we have downgraded back
to 3.1.2 until we can find out what caused this

thanks in advance
