Hello,
I've got some problems with pop3d. My IMAP configurations works well and is still in productive use but my POP3/POP3s services aren't working. Whenever I connect to either port the pop3d child process will be created and seems to stay alive to infinity. The client itself won't get any response. Neither a server identification message will be shown nor will there be any chance to get out of the loop. The client process stays connected (on TCP/IP stack) but doesn't transmit any data to the client - there will be nothing and the client waits till timeout.
Could someone help me solving the problem. I just tried to configure debug_command to "/usr/bin/strace -o /var/log/pop3d.log", but /var/log/error tells me that strace exited with code 256. The other log files aren't helpful.
Just for kicks, try rebooting. I'm running a large site and have been chasing a very intermittent pop3d gremlin that causes pop3d to hardlock while all other services are fine. only thing that clears it is a complete reboot. we can go for months without a single one, then have three in a day.
i can't find a single bit of reason or logic for it. i'm hoping one of these times i'll catch it with some time to look at it in gdb. but last time i tried it under gdb it worked fine -- but only the process under gdb heh.
