Hello Rob,
Sounds like --enable-temp-drop-dir=/somethere/without/quotas/enabled
If you enable quotas on spool dir and mailbox is near limit it is not
room for qpopper to write temp file.
>From manual:
..............
--enable-temp-drop-dir=path
Specify an alternate directory for
temporary mail drop files. The default
is the spool directory.
..............
2) When qpopper runs, it moves your mailspool to a
temporary location (.user.pop). The default location
is the mail spool directory. /tmp is an
alternative but is considered to be a security risk. A
system reboot usually clears the temporary .user.pop
files. For performance reasons, a sysadmin who has
1000+ users can create a separate spool directory for
qpopper files; /usr/spool/poptemp is preferable. You
can do this by using the --enable-temp-drop-dir flag
when running ./configure. Permissions should be the
same as your mailspool with the same owner and group.
