Dear All,
wondering whether you can help ...
I'm administering a Cobalt Qube, which runs linux, sendmail/
procmail for MTA/MDA, and "in.qpopper" thru tcpd for POP
downloads.
It was recently moved behind a firewall, changed IP address
(to 10.0...) and a few other changes, and the POP server has
stopped working.
Logs:
Aug 31 17:41:44 mail in.qpopper[8600]: userX at 10.0.0.56 (10.0.0.56): -ERR [SYS/TEMP]
maillock error 4: '/var/spool/mail/userX'
It appears (from telnet localhost 110) that the POP server
accepts the user and pass then immediately dies, leaving
behind userX.lock and .userX.pop, which then stop procmail
from delivering locally of course :(
A session:
# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version ?) at mail.our.domain starting.
user userX
+OK Password required for userX.
pass mypasswordX
Connection closed by foreign host.
#
Can anyone suggest WHY qpopper may have suddenly started
dying at this point?
Thanks in advance
Glen
