If this is your own server, I'd recommend switching to Postfix and using Maildir for message storage. The problem with mbox format message stores is that only 1 process can be writing to the file, which stores *all* messages for a folder. If you are receiving a new message while deleting an existing one, all kinds of nasty things can happen. If you need POP3 (I'd recommend going with IMAP instead) then look at Courier, Dovecot, or Cyrus. They provide nice, fast, stable, Maildir-support with POP3 and IMAP daemons that access the same folders. ---- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
