Got strange problems with popbull (Qmail 1.03 + popbull patch 1.03):
the new popbull patch isn't using 'cur' timestamp, but the stamp on the
'.timestamp' file in Maildir sub-dir. If I properly understood the popbull's
way of working, it should compare the time of the bulletins with the time of
the '.timestamp' - when bulletin is older, it shouldn't make a symlink in
/home/user/Maildir/new, when bulletin is newer, it should make a symlink,
and refresh the time of '.timestamp' (am I right?), to avoid sending the
bulletin over and over again.
And this is exactly my problem: the users are receiving bulletins still
over and over, because (if I properly understand) time of the '.timestamp'
is not refreshed after receiving the bulletin; it remain's still the same.
When I erase .timestamp file, it's created by popbull anew, but then it
remains with it's date of creation forever.
Popbull is invoked in the following way:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -t3 -H -l pirx.ispid.com.pl 0 pop3 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup pirx.ispid.com.pl /bin/checkpassword \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popbull /var/spool/bulletins /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir &
(last line, of course, isn't divided like above - 3. and 4. line are the
same line)
Perhaps somebody has a tip, how to get this to work properly?
pozdrawiam / regards
