I tracked down the mysql aborted connections in qmailadmin and fixed them. Now it calls the vclose() function before exiting. That fixes the problem. I tested it with vpopmail-4.10.24 (will be posted later today) and qmailadmin-0.54 (will be posted later today) I also found an aborted connection in vdominfo in vpopmail and vaddaliasdomain. Looks like vpopmail is clear of the mysql aborted connections too. Ken Jones
