We have been doing a massive restructuring on our mail systems
and were doing a great job keeping it completely transparent to
our users...Until it came to the bulletins directory. During the
move, the dbm became corrupt and since qpopper couldn't open the
dbm, it refused to let our users pop their mail.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have qpopper gracefully ignore
and skip the bulletin checks if it can't open/read it's dbm?
I really don't think it should be a fatal error.
I'll see what I can come up with in a way of a patch. But just
wanted feedback.
