We've just switched over to the new Qpopper v4.0.8; we were previously using v2.53. Our server is an Alpha platform running Tru64 v4.0G. In the log file, I now notice lots of "Broken pipe" messages:
Oct 13 16:48:55 geo-host popper[22043]: I/O error flushing output to client joeuser at my-mac-g5.Stanford.EDU [123.45.67.89]: Broken pipe (32) We get these about once a minute. Other messages logged by the same popper process, like "Servicing request", "POP login", and "Stats", look okay. We also see timeout notices, though much less frequently: Oct 13 14:28:56 pangea popper[4268]: (v4.0.8-krb-V) Timeout (120 secs) during nw read from johndoe at pc17.yale.edu (98.765.43.21) What do these messages mean? Can we fix them? Can we ignore them?
