Hi list !
my problem is that I have these entries in my /var/log/maillog file
#############################################################
Sep 18 10:31:36 mail popper[13054]: I/O error flushing output to
client user1 at adsl000.domain.com.au [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: Operation
not permitted (1)
This error indicates the TCP session has gone away from under
qpopper. In other words, the TCP session was closed because the
remote endpoint (PC in this case) closed the connection.

and the client itself (using Oexpress or Outlook) gets an error that
it disappears when it do 'send and receive' once again..
it happens not all days, and not for all the users..
I searched the list, and found someonelse having the same trouble,
but I can't still have a solution...
I'm running slackware 10 with
log2db-0.6 ; qpopper4.0.5 ; sendmail 8.12.11
thanks anyone..
Generally this is caused by timeouts that are too short on the PC, or
antivirus software doing dumb things, with the latter becoming
epidemic of late. We've moved a lot of customers to POP on alternate
port with TLS (TCP/995) to get their email away from the interference
caused by the latest live updates to Norton Antivirus 2005. There may
be a better solution to dealing with Norton (configuration, bug fix,
or uninstall) but this work-around has at least made it possible to
keep customers functional. Your problem may or may not be at all
related to antivirus, but it's something to look at.
