RE: [vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.25 POP3 collection fail

2007-11-13 Thread Matthew Moore
Hi,

 

I can now see in the log -

 

vpopmail[16576]: vchkpw-pop3: invalid user/domain characters

 

but it seems to pick on random users. One minute this will be logged
then the user can authenticate ok.

 

Any ideas as to what causes/creates this message?

 

Many thanks

 

Matt

Subject: [vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.25 POP3 collection fail

 

Hi,

 

I upgraded to 5.4.25 from 5.5.1 and today I have had reports of
intermittent POP3 collection. Users will get prompted for their username
and password and the next minute the request goes through ok. There are
around a max peak of 28 to 30 concurrent collections out of a possible
90 so thats not the issue.

 

I did notice out of memory error messages in the message log so I
increased tcpservers limit for pop3d from 6MB to 9MB and the out of
memory errors have gone yet the issue still exists.

 

Ive had a look through the POP3 log and mailog but cannot see any
errors.

 

Vpopmail is compiled with MySQL support where the users are held in a
database.

 

Is there any other logs I can check for potential problems?

 

Prior to this 5.5.1 had been running for 2 to 3 years with no problems
of POP3 collection from customers.

 

I cant really roll back because there was an issue with vchkpw in 5.5.1

Any ideas gratefully received before the rest of my hair falls out. L

 

Many thanks

 

Matt
