[vchkpw] vpopmail pop3 unable to scan $HOME/Maildir

[Andras Kende]

Hello,   I found a deserted email account with over 70.000 messages (few months of spam) in my vpopmail 5.4.3 mail server on FreeBSD…   If I try to pop3 these (Outlook, Outlook Express, Mozilla Thudnerbird)   The problem is its responding like :   Mail Sever … responded: unable to scan $HOME/Maildir   Pop3 workaround is to not to have more than 1500 messages in the Maildir…   Same problem happened after a week vacation, had to keep moving messages in and out of the maildir….         Thanks,     Andras Kende
