Hello. I've just upgraded from qpopper 2.5.3 to qpopper 4.0.4 (Solaris 7). I've been 
away from qpopper for about 2 years (since I installed the earlier version).

Here's the problem: if a user with a POP client (e.g. Eudora 5.1) has her client 
configured to remove messages from the server on check, it deletes them just fine.

However, if she has "leave messages on server" checked, but "delete after 3 days" 
and/or "delete from server when emptied from trash," qpopper is not deleting the 
messages from the server. Ever. They continue to sit in her spool file. The stats log 
confir
ms this.  Am I doing something wrong? The install and make went fine:

./configure --enable-uw-kludge (we have some IMAP users) 
make

Then, I copied the popper executable to our local binary directory. Here's the 
"inetd.conf" entry:

pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/etc/popper popper -R -s -t /var/log/maillog

I could understand this behavior perhaps on the first check with the new qpopper 
(reference the "old-uidl" business in the administrator's guide), but not on 
subsequent ones.

Can anyone offer any help? I can't have spool files growing forever, but we do need to 
continue to provide the "leave on for X days" option from a client.

TIA.
