Well, I tried adding the write line in the code. I recompiled, installed
the patched qmail-popbull and qmail-pop3d and telneted in to port 100. It
still didn't update the .timestamp file.
I deleted the .timestamp file. It created a new one with the right
timestamp but....isn't that line supposed to put a "0" in the file? I'm
not a programmer but that's what it looks to me to be doing. The new
.timestamp file is still 0 bytes and empty.
