What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Hmmm, lock file are always removed when the POP3 sessions ends. Even if XMail would crash in the middle of the request, during part of its boot up, it clears the lock files. So I find it strange of a lock file being permanently stuck there. Can you try a netstat (when the lock file is left there) to see if the connection with the client IP (on inbound port 110) is still there? - Davide Hi Davide, I will paste the output of the netstat cmd when the problem occurs once again. Here are the startup switches that I use if it can help: XMAIL_CMD_LINE="-Y- -F- -Pl -Ph -Sl -Fl -Cl -Ll -Yl -Qt 5 -Qi 5 -Ql -Qg" Could the -Ph switch be causing this? Hang the connection in bad login response? Don't think so. Also, maybe setting the -Pt <timeout> switch would help? Thanks! -fred _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list [email protected] http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list [email protected] http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
