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.  Blessed silence ;)

My guess is that the client disconnected, or some other error 
occurred earlier.  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'.

Yes.  You could also use a configuration file to set these, but 
doing it at compile time is somewhat faster.

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").

Please see the Administrator's Guide for more details.

In the log or a file you specify at run-time.  Please see the 
Administrator's Guide for more details.

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.
