After months of flawless activity I have started to get the following
errors from qpopper (v4.01) when users try to download their mail.
Aug 13 16:49:05 penguin popper[1098]: user at web12303.mail.yahoo.com
(216.136.173.101): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
(I changed the user name to 'user' in the error message above)
In this case the user was trying to retrieve their mail from Yahoo's web
mail. I've also had users fail from Hotmail too. When I use POP3 to get
my mail via my LAN I have no problems. To try to combat this problem I
created a configuration file with the following:
set chunky-writes = tls
As suggested in the FAQ at Qualcomm's site. However, this did not fix the
problem. Again, this just started 1.5-2 weeks ago, prior to then I've
been running qpopper with no problems at all since day 1. The same server
hosts all my other services (http, ftp, telnet, ssh) and I'm having no
problems with those services. This server is a very low traffic
server. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix this problem?
Help appreciated,
Derek Battams
