Hi Norman, I can't see anything relevant in pop3server.log - just lots of stuff about connections from our load balancer. The DB itself seems fine - it's a fairly meaty Oracle cluster. There was a limit of 30 connections of it, so I put that up to 100 - but still the same timing out.
There is a fairly massive backlog on the server now I'm guessing. We have a Nagios system sending emails out to it fairly regularly. How can I check the size of this backlog? There's nothing being kept on the spool table - the logs are showing that mail is being successfully spooled. It's just not retrievable by the user for some reason.
