I can't see any reason why it skips files in the future.  And it has
an explicit check to do that.

Vpopmail+qmail pop3 has lost it's mind!

2001-05-30 Thread David Gartner

Hello again.  Another question!  I've got a high availibilty cluster
running qmail and vpopmail.  Three computers mount /home from an nfs
server.  In the home directory is the vpopmail directory (all vpop apps
and config's are in this dir).  I have made /var/qmail/control and
/var/qmail/users match on all nodes.  When you pop from the nfs server,
the users have mail.  But if you hit one of the nodes, it authenticates
fine, but says there's not mail.  Anyone know how I broke this and how I
can fix it? Here's what I do to test this--

This is on the NFS server
Lists the mail fine...

[root@mail(nfs1) /root]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to mail...
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK 4864.991244767@mail
user me
+OK
pass test
+OK
list
+OK
1 212
.


This is on any of the nodes ...
Where's my mail?!?!

[root@mail(node1) /root]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK 735.991234046@mail
user me
+OK
pass test
+OK
list
+OK
.




Many thanks!

David Gartner

You want to sync the clocks... qmail-pop3d won't list messages from the
future.

Apart from the enigmatic don't want to mix up the order, you could
construe it as a feature that would make a bulletin *visible* to
everyone at exactly the same time...

Apart from that, I cannot think of a POP related reason why an mtime
in the future would be a problem.

I asked this on the list once; I didn't get much of a response, but what
little I did get said (IIRC) that it was a byproduct of using some of djb's
other routines for walking the directory contents.  I don't know why djb's
routines ignore files dated in the future.

Take this with a big grain of salt; I could be mis-remembering quite badly.
