The chunky-writes (never) option seems to make no difference. I did turn
on the following option:
set log-login = "v%0 POP login by user %1 at (%2) %3"
I noticed that the error occurs before the POP login. For users with the
POP EOF or I/O error problem no POP login line is generated. However, the
username is included on the POP EOF error line.
Also, one client's screen (Outlook Express) displays authorizing until they
get a message stating that the POP server hasn't responded (prompting STOP
or WAIT). The user pressed WAIT several times then was prompted (again)
for their password (no invalid password lines were generated in the
log). It then downloaded messages.
I had one user (with the POP EOF error) set their POP server back to a
machine running 2.5.3. Copied their mail file over to the 2.5.3 machine
and had them check their mail. They received their mail fine. Set the
POP server back to the machine running 4.0.1 (same mail file still there),
checked the mail just fine with no error.
This is very frustrating. Any other suggestions? Is anyone else
continuing to have this trouble? Any bug reports been filed? Are any of
the older versions safe to use?
Any help would be much appreciated. -Bob
