qmail-pop3d broken LAST command
I noticed that qmail-pop3d always responds with: +OK 0 to the pop3 command LAST This behavior makes pop3 clients like fetchmail unable to know which messages are new and thus download all the messages. So running fetchmail two successive times without deleting mail from the pop3 server would retrieve two copies of all messages. Is there any patch out for that ? Thanks
Is it safe to recompile and install qmail after patching.
On a production environment is it safe to patch qmail source and make setup check once again. Any precautions should be taken ? Thanks.
qmail-pop3d and fetchmail
I was trying to use fetchmail to retrieve messages from a pop3 account on a server running qmail-pop3d using tcpserver and vchkpw. It retrieved all the messages although I did not specify "--all" flag to fetchmail. I tried several time and every time fetchmail retrieves all the messages again and again. I tried fetchmail with another pop3 account on a server running sendmail/qpoper and it worked fine, only new messages was retrieved. Anybody knows why that happens ? Thanks.
