Hello there i've finally sucessfully compiled vpopmail with the mysql support. (the ldconfig stuff was the easiest solution tought) but know i encounter a weird situation. all seems to run well and the troubles cames when i try to telnet pop 110. and oh yes, the vpopmail base & table seems to be OK. so when i log on, i type the user ,ok, and then the pass. this right now that the fun begin. i have that in mysql logs : 001204 17:14:39 133 Connect root@localhost on vpopmail 133 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell from vpopmail where pw_name = 'bey' and pw_domain = 'v-com.fr' 133 Quit 134 Connect root@localhost on vpopmail 134 Query replace into relay ( ip_addr, timestamp ) values ( '195.36.233.176', 975946479 ) 134 Query select ip_addr from relay so we can think that vckpwd has done the job but not. i'm still frozen on the telnet session withtout the last OK before i can LIST my mailbox (Maildir indeed). and now when i show the process list i have this : 25746 ? S 0:00 \_ supervise qmail-pop3d 25756 ? S 0:00 | \_ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -u 77 -g 77 -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup 212.43.237.82 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 26496 ?

R 0:13 | \_ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir all those childs are blocked im memory and won't exit by themself. in the meantime mysql show me that there is one query from vpopmail that is sleeping. last hint, with clearopemsmtp in my cron, it does start but never end. loading hardly my system. if it helps here my compile options : ./configure --enable-hardquota=20 --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-default-domain=v-com.fr --enable-relay-clear-minutes=30 --enable-logging=e [EMAIL PROTECTED] --enable-mysql=y --enable-sqlincdir=/servers/mysql/include/mysql/ --enable-sqllibs=/servers/mysql/lib/mysql/ --enable-sqllibdir=/servers/mysql/lib/mysql/ --enable-tcprules-prog=/servers/ucspi/bin/tcprules i hope i am clear enuff since the prob is really strange. hope you can help me, thanks a lot :)
