I have a mail server using dovecot that has been running without issue for
quite a couple of years now. It serves email for about 30 individuals.
But since Jan 14th, users have been reporting spurious errors in MS Outlook:
316 Jan 21 00:38:12 ip-172-30-0-131 dovecot: pop3-login: Disconnected

The problem is happening to real users on real devices who are reporting ver
ce of the error some users have been seeing, not the
errors I originally posted here to the mailing list.

Based on your email I went back and took a closer took at the logs.

closer look and around 11:56 I found these
wasn’t isolated to a
single network.

If it was my mailbox, I’d delete them. But it’s not, so I can’t.
So barring this action, what are my best available options?
