This happens when someone tries to pop into the same account when another session is already active. Or possibly the qpopper session crashed leaving the poplock file undeleted. There is no fix. You simply don't have multiple pop sessions. In practice, it's not a good idea to do so. -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net 'Life is like a spoonful of Drain-O, it feels good on the way down but leaves you feeling hollow inside' > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of > jacks@sage-american.com > Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 1:05 PM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Sendmail POP Lock > > > I've just now set up a mail server using sendmail.
