I have seen a few mails similar to my problem but none of them have answered my problem
I am using qpopper 4.0.3 on FreeBSD 4.4-RC #5, nothing special. my configure parameters are configure --enable-popbulldir=/usr/local/popper/bulletin --enable-log-login --enable-spool-dir=/usr/mail --enable-temp-drop-dir=/home/mail --enable-keep-temp-drop --enable-servermode --enable-bulletins=/usr/local/popper/bulletin --enable-timing The problem I see has something to do with attachments (I think). How it starts I don't know. The symptoms. A random user complains that his mail times out while receiving messages, he has received a number of messages from the mail file. eg. If there are 10 messages to download, it stops at 5 and times out. (It can be number one as well) All future attempts to download fail at the same point. I can copy the mail file to another user and the problem still exists. Well almost all occasions except once. On this occasion, after copying the mail file to another user, I actually managed to download all the messages and they were all marked as read up until the message that stopped. (As I said only once, and may have been another problem) If I edit the mail file and delete the offending message (Only common thing I see is that the message I delete always has an attachment). The user can now download all messages. The message can be any message in the file, so far it has happened on 5 different users, on many occasions. So with all that said it I would say its a corruption in the mail file. I have checked the mail headers and all looks good to the naked eye. Even the "From" field is correct. Can anyone shed some light on this problem. Wayne
