Re: Followup: Logging a POP3 session
Changing mail clients won't make a difference. Just tell him what you found, that everything went out that came in. Then tell him to look to the sender, because there's a five nine probability that she's screwing up and nuking messages.

I went with qpopper -s as this box is one of 25 and I _really_ don't want one box different. after a week he's claimed another two messages have disappeared. I checked the logs and sure enough the two messages have been delivered to his mailbox. tallied the stats from qpopper and he has downloaded every message that has been delivered to his mailbox. not really sure where to go from here. both he and his PA are using Netscape 4.61 as the mail client, might get them to upgrade to 4.73 any other ideas? thanks, -- Daniel Quinlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netwise Australia ph: 07 3252 8111 "Engineering Your Network Solution" fax: 07 3216 0226

If that number syncs up with what exim says it delivered to his mailbox well then somebody's lying or is an idiot. Cucipop is a drop in replacement for qpopper. That's the path I took. +---+ |-=I T ' S P R I N C I P L E T H A T C O U N T S=- | |=- -=ALAN KEYES FOR PRESIDENT=- -=| | Balanced Budgets Personal Freedoms Morality Lower Tax | |=-- http://www.Keyes2000.com. --=| ++
Logging a POP3 session
hi, we have a client who is claiming he's not receiving all his email. people are apparently sending him messages and he's not receiving it. oh, and his PA is reading his mail as well, but she 'swears she never deletes anything' I've checked the exim logs and all the mail is delivered to his mailbox. (I got the details of the missing messages and checked) but I can't prove there's not something wrong with the POP server. is there any way to log a POP3 session? I've checked www.spack.org/debian and freshmeat.net for POP3 servers (currently using qpopper) and none of them seem to offer this feature (not that I'm suprised, mind you) can anyone think of a way of proving that the mail is definitely getting to his mail reader? system: Debian 2.1 exim 2.05-2 qpopper 2.3-4 thanks, Daniel Quinlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netwise Australia ph: 07 3252 8111 "Engineering Your Network Solution" fax: 07 3216 0226
