I am beginning to see an odd problem on one of my machines. This is my mail machine (dedicated server). What is happening is this...a client connects, and their computer tells them "Receiving message 1 of 10" (or whatever number they have). They do not get 10 messages in their "Inbox". They are not filtering mail, so it is not a client thing. The problem is pretty widespread as well. It does not seem to be related to a particularly busy time, either. I noticed once (a while back) that I was getting "too many open files" errors in the log files, so I increased the "maxusers" to 50 and re-compiled the kernel. Still no help...the file error has disappeared, though. I am stumped. Here are the stats: HARDWARE: PII 266 with 128MB Ram and about 5 GB diskspace available in /var SOFTWARE: FreeBSD 2.2.6 with aforementioned mods to kernel Qpopper 2.53 (vanilla compile for FreeBSD) Thanks for any assistance. I am not sure what else to include here, as I have exhausted my limited knowledge on this one. **************************************************************** ** Butch Evans ** Visit our WebSite at ** ** Shelton Internet, Inc ** http://www.sheltonbbs.com ** ** Network Operations ** SEMO's Premier ISP ** ** Malden, MO ** Low, Low Ad Rates!! ** ** 1-800-339-4803 ** 573-276-4803 ** ***************************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
