We have some users who, with our permission, leave their mail (picked up via POP3) on our server. When I moved our mail server a few years ago, these people's mail programs believed that all the mail they were seeing on the server was unread mail, and downloaded it all again. Can anyone suggest a way to prevent this from happening again? I am guessing it has something to do with the way the POP3 server identifies itself to the client, but I am not familiar enough with POP3 to say for sure. ----- Robert Ricci Intermountain Internet System Admin. rricci@intermountain.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
