Hello poppers! I have problems downloading messages from my QPopper POP3 server when there are attachments in the messages. I have these errors in my /var/log/maillog: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apr 28 14:25:54 ms2 /usr/sbin/popper[13304]: I/O error flushing output to client localaccount at someuser.telia.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: Operation not permitted (1)
and Apr 28 14:28:14 ms2 /usr/sbin/popper[13314]: (null) at someuser.telia.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error Apr 28 14:28:14 ms2 /usr/sbin/popper[13314]: (v4.0.3) Timing for @someuser.telia.com (error) auth=0 init=0 clean=0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The line to the mailserver seems good: ping ms2.spd.nu Pinging ms2.spd.nu [62.119.94.68] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 62.119.94.68: bytes=32 time=37ms TTL=243 Reply from 62.119.94.68: bytes=32 time=38ms TTL=243 Reply from 62.119.94.68: bytes=32 time=36ms TTL=243 Reply from 62.119.94.68: bytes=32 time=35ms TTL=243 Ping statistics for 62.119.94.68: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 35ms, Maximum = 38ms, Average = 36ms The strange thing is that this problem ony occurs when there are attachments in the messages. I have googled and looked trough the mail-list archives and I cat find any pointer to the problem :( Im relative new to Linux as mailserver and do not know where to look for the problem... I have tried to change some timeout values in the email clients without luck Also the "set chunky-writes = tls" directive... Some information about the system: OS: RedHat 7.2 with software RAID (EXT3) MTA: Postfix 1.1.7 (Saving mail to /var/spool/mail/mail-file) Qpopper version: 4.03 (RPM version) E-mail clients: MS OutlookExpload & MS Outbreak2000 (I know these are not good but everyone use them) The local mail accounts are belonging to the group "popusers" and their access to /var/spool/mail/mail-file are: -rw-rw---- 1 local-account popusers 0 Apr 28 15:14 local-account I have tried to install the latest version 4.04 but it complains about some tempnam thing... Can't fin any info about this either :( Can someone please point me where to start to look? A big thanks in advance, Pelle in Sweden
