I tried that solution as well. Although it helped my problem for a short time, my pop server eventually started crashing again. Re-bricking is what finally cured mine..
Paul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Mallory Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 11:32 AM To: sambar List Member Subject: [sambar] Mail server woes I have seen this issue a few times with older sambar release.. the problem turned out to be a corrupted / messed up mailbox.. It was really hard to track down because there was only 1-2 messages buried in the logs that reflected the mailbox was screwed up when trying to write to it.. The result of this hosed box was the the pop3-client would not disconnect and would retry based on the clients settings.. After a period of time the client would end up chewing up all of the threads.. Im sure a proper cleanup of the threads would be the desired fix but in my case I just deleted and re-created the mailbox and the thread problem went away..
