Hi y'all, I've not read this whole string, but... ;') I've seen this sort of thing using fetchmail with a locally written mda (mail delivery agent), whereby fetchmail would connect correctly to the POP3 mailbox, start sucking them down & pass the data-stream to the mda (which inserts the messages into a db/2 database). Occasionally, the mda would fail, passing an 'error' status to fetchmail. Now, at this stage, fetchmail has not sent back a "mark message(s) read" status to the POP3 mailbox, so the process terminates , and the messages stay on the mailbox with an "unread" status on them. We worked around this by modifying fetchmail - gotta love that open-source stuff ;') hth, haxxa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
