Greetings!
I have encountered a strange problem. Well, it's strange to me at
any rate. And most diffiently a problem. I have a mail server
running on FreeBSD 2.1.0-R. and this weekend, out of the blue,
it decides it is not going to let users get their mail. I run
majordomo lists, so I started troubleshooting and when I send a
message to a list the message is distributed. This was a relieve.
When I telnet over to the server I can view current messages I
have received to my account using the mail utility in UNIX.
This is also a relieve. So, as far as I can tell, users are getting
there mail. The problem is, I use MS Exchange and Pegasus to
get my mail from various accounts I have on this server. As of
yesterday, neither program is succesful in retrieving mail. I get a
message that I have the wrong user name or password or the
TCP/IP connection is tempory disconnected. I thought maybe
it was my machine at home, however, I received a call from my
boss this evening and he is having the same problem. He uses
Pegasus. So, having to work with NT and Win 95 machines, I
instinctively thought to try rebooting the server. It was a soft
reboot, cause I did it remotely, but to no avail.
What could cause this problem? I didn't do anything to the
server from the time I last knew it to be working properly till
Saturday when I was at home and tried to get my mail. Please,
any clues, hints would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
:)mary
