Hi All, I've got a problem with gnu-pop3d in combination with Linux Mandrake 7.2 (I don't know if it also happens with other Linux distributions). Gnu- pop3d is installed from gnu-pop3d-0.9.8-3mdk.i586.rpm. What happens is the following: gnu-pop3d is started with 'service gnu-pop3d start', this starts 11 processes of gnu-pop3d. In time the number of processes of gnu-pop3d decrease. It may happen that in one day there are only 6 processes of gnu-pop3d left, while there were 11 processes the day before. It seems that processes are killed when users try to get mail with wrong passwords entered in their e-mail programs. When the user is away for some time the mailer may be trying to get mail over and over again, which may kill gnu-pop3d processes, although I'm not sure. I am also using stunnel (installed from stunnel-3.13-1mdk.i586.rpm) to provide secure pop3 connections to my users, which are outside the local LAN. What stunnel does is that it tunnels port 995 to port 110 and all connections are encrypted. Port 110 is not available outside the local LAN. I don't know if stunnel has anything to to with this problem. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this problem? PS. I have also send an e-mail to the gnu-pop3d mailinglist, but it seems to be down because I receive no messages from it (I'm subscribed with two e-mail addresses and none of them receive any mail from it).
