Hi I am having file lock problems. 1 customer has a soft quota of 50MB and hard limit of 100MB and a 27MB mbox file.
a snip of the logs shows Jun 11 12:00:46 proteus2 popper[6328]: martinco at 82.45.254.97 (82.45.254.97): -ERR POP timeout from myservers.name.here Jun 11 19:27:25 proteus2 popper[4862]: (v4.0.8) Timeout (120 secs) during nw read from martinco at 82.45.254.97 (82.45.254.97) Jun 11 19:27:25 proteus2 popper[4862]: martinco at 82.45.254.97 (82.45.254.97): -ERR POP timeout from myservers.name.here Jun 11 20:06:48 proteus2 popper[7819]: martinco at 82.45.254.97 (82.45.254.97): -ERR [IN-USE] /var/mail/.martinco.pop lock busy! Is another session active? (11) i need to resolve this by using a separate location for the .pop files with no quotas. i have the space on a second drive that is not using quotas. i started qpopper from command line with ./popper 111.222.333.444:110 -R so how do i migrate to the separate drive. my worry is those processes already running under /var/mail/spool/.username.pop do i have to recompile with ./configure --enable-standalone --enable-temp-drop-dir=/users/qpopper/mail make clean make make install or does qpopper run better under inetd?
