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

Hi Mark,
I'm a bit confused. The 20:06:48 session should have been fine,
since the 19:27:25 session should have ended after the timeout. Was
the popper process for the user still active? Also, what does the
spool being locked have to do with quotas?
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
You can set the temp-drop-dir using a configuration file; that way
you don't have to recompile. You can tell Qpopper to read a
configuration file by adding the command-line flag for the flavor(s)
of configuration files you'd like to use.
or does qpopper run better under inetd?
Choosing to run from inetd or in daemon mode is independent of using
other flags and options; you can mix and matcg.
