I am having a problem which is baffling me. I am trying to retrieve mail
from vpopmail and am getting sporadic messages:
-ERR Aack child crashed.
Generally, if I recheck the pop mail a second time, the access succeeds, so
I know the passwords are not the problem. I have noticed that the problem
is much more common with Eudora clients than with Outlook Express clients,
but both have occasionally had problems. Any thoughts?
My system is Mandrake Linux 7 with qmail 1.03, daemontools 0.70, ucspi-tcp
0.84, and vpopmail 4.9. I configured vpopmail with the following line:
./configure --enable-default-domain=rongenet.sk.ca
--enable-relay-clear-minutes=180 --enable-roaming-users=y
--enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-logging=e
My init script for qmail - POP is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -c 100 -H -R -l gandalf.rongenet.sk.ca -u
1001 -g 508 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup rongenet.sk.ca \
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
I have verified that the locations are correct in config.h for all programs
and files.
Help!
