RE: [vchkpw] Sporadic mail auth failures
And so after having no problems all yesterday afternoon, what is the first thing that system does this morning when I login? Fail to auth, twice. Someone ahead of me failed then I failed. Checked connections, 14/100. 10 Authdaemon processes running... no mysql errors reported... sigh. Any other ideas? :) It boggles me because this is server is hardly even used. I'm going to attach the printout of my status and vars from mysql, if anyone sees anything wrong with whats in there please let me know.
