Howdy, all.
Anyone have a take on why the access time for the
Maildir/cur directory would not be getting updated
specifically on machines using Network Appliance boxen
for disk storage (via NFS) when a user connects to POP
mail?
My take on qmail-pop3d is that it does opendir()/readdir()/
closedir() on Maildir/cur. Pretty simple. Should be
enough to trigger an atime update ....
So. When I run a 5-line C program that does exactly
that and nothing more, and run it through tcpserver,
atime gets updated. When I connect and complete a POP
session it doesn't. I've tested this on FreeBSD
2.2.5-STABLE and 2.2.8-STABLE.
When I run my little 5-line program or transact a POP
session on a non-NetApp qmail-1.01 machine, atime
gets updated. When I do both of those things on machines
using NetApps for storage, it only gets updated with
the 5-line program.
Thoughts? I have that awful nagging feeling I missed
some documentation somewhere, but beats me where.
It seems fairly clear that I am not understanding the
way qmail-pop3d works, even though the code looks
pretty plain 'n simple.
And yes, I'm planning to upgrade to qmail-1.03 soon. :)

Absolute zero is cool.
