hello,

i've discovered a strange behaviour with the dbmail-pop3d and imapd
processes. when i check my emails with a client and my ISP drops the
internet connection during the send&receive to the pop3d or imapd process
then this process will hang with 99% cpu usage !

my mail logs telling me =>

Nov 23 11:48:33 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32528]: PerformChildTask(): incoming
connection from [169.210.147.240 (ip-r-sniLF1-240.s.loxinfo.net.th)]

and then the PID 32528 somehow hangs and under TOP i can see that it uses
99% of the CPU !

if my ISP doesn't drop the connection during send&receive everything works
fine without any problems. the logs show as follows =>

Nov 23 11:49:59 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: PerformChildTask(): incoming
connection from [169.210.147.15 (ip-r-sniLF1-15.s.loxinfo.net.th)]
Nov 23 11:50:00 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: pop3(): user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] logged in [messages=0, octets=0]
Nov 23 11:50:01 gehirn dbmail/pop3d[32530]: pop3_handle_connection(): user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] logging out [messages=0, octets=0]

as i told before, this ONLY happens when the ISP DROPS the connection DURING
the send&receive process !!!

i'm running dbmail 1.2.1 on a SuSE Linux 8.1 !

is there anybody experiencing the same problem ?!
is there any way to fix this issue ?!?

thanks a lot for your help & have a nice day :-)

becki
