I've had a look at the pine source code. Ouch. It does appear that sending a non-OK response will be enough for pine to believe the server is no longer available and drop the connection though. The other option is to send a * BYE - mailbox has been deleted, but I can't guarantee that PINE will recognise that. Dropping the link should do the trick though ;) -- Bron Gondwana br...@fastmail.fm ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
