Bill, I can relate with you phone ringing off the hook. I work for a school system as well and whenever our e-mail goes offline, which is a lot since we are on Exchange (I'm converting over to SuSE before X-mas though).
The only reason that I could think of as to why the pop3 service is shutting down is due to overloading.. How many users are accessing this sytem? It may also possibly be overloading of bad packets. When did this start and how many times has it happened? The only thing that I can think of in-between figuring out what is going on is to install a service monitoring daemon, such as monit (available on Freshmeat.net). However, if the service does come back in 10 minutes, this probably wouldn't be necessary. I hope someone else here will know what's going on, Good Luck! -Jon On Thu, 2002-10-17 at 11:09, William Mahler wrote: > > Greetings. > I have a Red Hat 6.2 Mail server.
