Vpop3d has a bug at least since 1.10r27 up to 1.13r5.
How to reproduce it:
* zcat mailbox.gz >> /var/spool/vmail/domain/user
* telnet localhost 110
* login as user
--> vpop3d tells you that you've got 2 messages instead of only 1 real message
Now what is it? How to find out:
* edit the users mailbox file
* lock for the following lines
-------------------------------------
Fom Scripting News... It's DaveNet!
* now insert a SPACE before the "From" and save the mailbox file
* telnet localhost 110
* login as user
--> vpop3d tells you that you've got 1 message!!!!!!
Thats why some times mail end up chopped into peaces e.g. one mail containing
only the headers an another one containing only the message body of the original
mail.
MFG / Regards
