>From my own experiences, the error is very likely the result of the pop client not waiting for qpopper to disconnect first. Since this is out of our control and appears with about half of our user base (we get 5-10 pops per second), I just commented the error out and recompiled.

The log should have that error as well. If these errors persist, try enabling debug tracing. To enable tracing in Qpopper: 1. Do a 'make clean' 2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'. 3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t tracefile'. 4. Send inetd a HUP signal. This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog (if you used '-d') or to the file specified as 'tracefile'.

Am I wrong about > this? Yes. .user.pop files are always created. They serve two purposes: they are a mutual exclusion lock to ensure there is only one POP session per user at any one time, and they also are the temp drop file. In server mode, these files serve the first purpose until session end, when they may or may not be needed to update the spool (depending on if the spool is "dirty").

Re: Upgraded to 4.0, have questions
Hi All, After upgrading, I am now seeing this message in /var/log/messages. What does this error mean? I have not encountered this one before. Apr 13 14:41:35 i2000 -sR[21771]: I/O error flushing output to client hkj at 205 .160.50.55 [205.160.50.55]: Operation not permitted (1) Thanks, Lisa Casey, Webmaster Interstate 2000, Inc.
