Yeah, I have had that happen to me before - generally it is due to a
spam or other HTML type encoded email in the mailbox that the OTRS
system is unable to process. Delete the process id row from the database
(off the top of my head I think the table is dbo.process_id, then delete
the message from the mailbox, restart OTRS and it should start working.

Good luck

Subject: [otrs] PostMasterPOP3.pl problems

Hello,

I'm having a problem when using PostMasterPOP3.pl. Basically, when it
pops a certain mailbox from a POP server, it *looks* like it crashes.
It starts popping from other boxes just fine, but when it gets to this
one, it always says: "Message (1/56)", etc and then it stops.

Could it be that a particular message in that inbox is causing it to
crash? I know it's crashing because it leaves it's process_id in the
DB, so the next time, OTRS does not pop anything, and complains that
'it is already running'.

I have used '-f 1 -d' and here is the bottom of the output I got (I
have removed some repetitive lines):

What does that last line mean? Why would it suddenly have a logging
issue?

If anyone can shed some insight, or tell me a better way to diagnose
the problem, I would be most helpful.

Thanks,
Khusro
