About 500 ppl, but I doubt they saw it before you changed it.

Damn, umn.. I had trouble with the submission form and
some funky thing with my browser. I didn't change the
values of the user/pass and domain in my script. Now
how many people got it?! Well, I changed my password.
please don't hack me.

Description:
------------
This is a difficult situation to reproduce. I will try
to give you the history. We are running iMail 7.x and
the back-end is through an SQL server. there is a bug
in iMail that if the SQL Server for any reason is
'lost' then POP3 will just hang and not attempt to
reconnect. The only way around it is to restart the
service. This doesn't happen often on our system and
it's quite random, but when it happens nobody can get
their e-mail. The solution I came up with is a script
(referenced below) to check on if I can login to POP3.
If I cannot, restart the service.
The problem arises when this situation happens with
iMail, the imap_open command simply hangs there. It is
waiting for a response from the server after giving the
username and/or password. and nothing comes. It hangs
just like the e-mail clients do, howevver imap_open
FAILS to timeout. At last count the longest the script
hung there without going anywhere was 30 minutes. and I
do not even have set a script time-out so in the least
the script should have failed itself due to running too
long. the function is just sitting there waiting for a
response from the server.
Perhaps there's another way to do this or perhaps there
is a bug in imap_open that doesn't provide for the
thing to timeout or something, wdyt?
Reproduce code:
---------------
$mbox = imap_open("{mail.neweve.com:110/pop3/notls}INBOX", "thomas",
"theduke");
if (!$mbox) {
system("net stop pop3d32");
system("net start pop3d32");
}
Expected result:
----------------
Expected is that imap_open would fail with a timeout or
something and $mbox would be false so my system would
restart.
Actual result:
--------------
Actual result is that imap_open sits there and does
nothing it never stops the script just hangs
indefinitely. When adding "echo" statements as debug
code I see it never passes that line.
