This may be taking too long such that the client is timing out. This is particularly a problem with Eudora. Simply bump the timeout, or encourage your users to avoid sending large attachments (certain sendmail.cf changes can help enforce this policy). > Is there a 'better' POP server out there? qpopper is pretty much it; we use the old ipop3d on our server but only a few people use it regularly and we limit mail to 2MB/message since it insists on blowing up procmail. > Is anybody using IMAP yet ? I am right now with Pine. Pretty much required for how my mail sorting works.
