I have been using tpop3d for about 2 years now and never ran into this
problem until recently with version 1.4.2 (Same version is working fine =
on
other servers of mine).
=20
Basically I am having 2 different problem which may or may not be =
related.
The first is file locks. IT seems that mailoxes are locked and the lock =
is
never removed on certain accounts (just under 1 domain, no problems with =
any
of the other domains I am hosting).
=20
The 2nd problem has to do with dead processes. Every few days tpop3d =
seems
to hang and crash the server. The result is a bunch of "D" processes of
tpop3 children that never finish and close, so they back up and soon the
server load is at 20 due to a bunch of D tpop3d processes.
=20
I have tried recompiling tpop3d on the server and it did not fix the
problem.
=20
Does anyone have any suggestions or have you seen this before?=20
=20
Thanks in advance
