There was zero bytes in both files. Just because there's a 0 byte .mailbox.pop file left behind, that DOES NOT mean the mailbox is locked. There's a separate mailbox.lock file that does that dude. If you see a 0 byte .mailbox.pop file, it's nothing to worry about. If the mail account was really locked you'd be seeing "pop lock busy" errors in your /var/log/messages file. You may be chasing a ghost here (in other words, this is normal). > 2) grep did not show popper as active This is good. gf To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
