I installed 4.0.4 on RH 7.2 two weeeks ago. Other than not finding the
ndbm.h file for bulletins (I omitted bulletins to get it to compile)
everything seemed to be working normally. Over the holiday, several OE users
began to complain that they were getting the message "the server has
unexpectedly terminated the connection"
The debug log shows no trace of these users although they were connecting
normally a week ago. A tcp dump shows they are getting to the correct
server, and in fact the failing session looks very much like my own, which
always succeeds.
These failing users accounts pop OK from my mail client, so it's not
account-related.
My configuration:
./configure \
--enable-debugging \
--enable-shy \
--enable-statistics
And my xinetd config:
# default: on
# description: pop3 is the server for the qpopper program. The server \
# provides POP3 mail retrieval.
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/popper
server_args = qpopper -d -F -C -c -s -T 600 -t /var/log/popd.log
log-on-failure += USERID
}
Can anybody shed some light on this?
