Hi we've been battling a very strange problem with our server for awhile now. Periodically when a user tries to send mail (using smtp auth), or check his/her pop3 box, we get auth failures. What happens is youll have to auth 3-4 times before it'll actually go through (even though you are entering the same credentials every time). It is very frustrating. Upon examining the logs here is what we are getting:
Aug 21 10:08:04 mail authdaemond: vmysql: sql error[3]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query Now I know the username/pw work to connect to the database because it does eventually auth. The mysql server is on the same machine as well. Anybody have any ideas what this could be indicative of? Mysql server 4.1.8 Vpopmail 5.4.10 Thanks, David
