Thanks Daniel
well in fact, I don't konw the pc user environment for all users having
these trouble sometimes..
but I know for sure that Some of those, do NOT have Norton Antivirus 2005
installed.. so there has to be another reason for this..
but I know it is not simple to find out why it happens..
any other hints will be appreciated..
thanks again..

Hi list !
my problem is that I have these entries in my /var/log/maillog file

Sep 18 10:31:36 mail popper[13054]: I/O error flushing output to client
user1 at adsl000.domain.com.au [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: Operation not permitted
(1)
This error indicates the TCP session has gone away from under qpopper. In
other words, the TCP session was closed because the remote endpoint (PC in
this case) closed the connection.

and the client itself (using Oexpress or Outlook) gets an error that it
disappears when it do 'send and receive' once again..
it happens not all days, and not for all the users..
I searched the list, and found someonelse having the same trouble, but I
can't still have a solution...
I'm running slackware 10 with
log2db-0.6 ; qpopper4.0.5 ; sendmail 8.12.11
thanks anyone..
Generally this is caused by timeouts that are too short on the PC, or
antivirus software doing dumb things, with the latter becoming epidemic of
late. We've moved a lot of customers to POP on alternate port with TLS
(TCP/995) to get their email away from the interference caused by the
latest live updates to Norton Antivirus 2005. There may be a better
solution to dealing with Norton (configuration, bug fix, or uninstall) but
this work-around has at least made it possible to keep customers
functional. Your problem may or may not be at all related to antivirus,
but it's something to look at.
