hello I've setup a sendmail server for SMTP and qpopper 3.1.2 for POP3 accounts. Qpopper is great and works really well BUT I have a problem: All our mailclients are Microsoft Entourage or Microsoft Outlook (I can see your faces now, but that isn't the real problem). We have a couple of mailboxes that have, by now, about 300 mails in them. When I try to get the mail of one of those accounts, Microsoft Entourage crashes, giving me an error 3, unexpected error. (Microsoft Outlook does the same thing) After that, you can check the mail, but it isn't there (qpopper moved it from /var/spool/mail/ to /var/dropmail). After a few minutes, its back in /var/spool/mail, waiting to be downloaded.
When I look in my logs, I get this: [snip] Dec 4 12:28:04 alexandria popper[30862]: EOF from accountname at 192.168.1.20): [0] 2 (No such file or directory); 0 (Success) Dec 4 12:28:04 alexandria popper[30862]: pascale.fr at 192.168.1.20 (192.168.1.20) -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error: 2 (No such file or directory); 0 Success [/snip] the "no such file or directory" is some reference to the mailfile that has been moved to /var/dropmail, I think... In the meantime, these people can't retrieve their mail using their mailclients, but have to use obscure webmail products... Any ideas how to solve this problem? kind regards Tom Van de Wiele -- Tom Van de Wiele System Administrator Eduline Colonel Bourgstraat 105a 1140 Brussel http://www.eduline.be
