Another testimonial for 4.0.2:

  I cut in the new version 4.0.2 seamlessly this morning.  Load is
dramatically reduced over what we were seeing with a patched 3.0, I'm
sure mostly due to our being able to enable server mode + fast updates. 

  Late last week we regularly saw the load average go to 100 on this
server, and it looked like it was heading that way just before 9:00am
when I cut the new version in.  Since then the load has not gone over
22, and that was in the early stages after the cutover (when the UIDL
.cache files were still getting built.) Now it's back down to 7.

  Zero (0) customer calls or support problems so far.

  I was thinking that I'm getting more odd messages syslogged for
various client problems.  However, after comparing to last week's logs,
I think it is just that I am looking closer, not that version 4.0.2 is
more "talkative" than the old one.  There are two exceptions:

May 29 13:40:50 malasada akiltd[10184]: popper[21213]: noop has null function
May 29 13:40:53 malasada akiltd[10184]: popper[21213]: noop has null function
...
May 29 13:41:28 malasada popper[21938]: (null) at 66.8.255.197 (66.8.255.197): -
ERR Unknown authentication mechanism: MSN
May 29 13:41:28 malasada popper[21938]: (null) at 66.8.255.197 (66.8.255.197): -
ERR POP EOF or I/O Error

  I don't think any of these messages were getting logged before,
specifically that "noop has null function" which is showing up for a
couple of users, but a *lot* for one of them.  Is this something which
really needs to be logged?  I assume it's some mail client sending
"noop" commands to keep the session from timing out.

  Looking at last weeks logs, I do see that "Unknown authentication
mechanism" message, but they were mostly showing up with "NTLM" and
"twinkie" as parameters instead of "MSN".  Any idea what this comes
from?  The IP address there is not one of ours, and doesn't seem to
have valid reverse DNS.
