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
