I *think* from memory some client sees there are no messages and just hangs up rather than exiting properly. What I find a LOT more annoying is that it seems Netscape 2/3 (4 too I think) can't pick up largish (>>100k or so) MIME style messages from our server ... the connection just times out eventually (I think ... never used it myself :) ), quite often frustrating the user with pop lock problems. The weird thing is it either only happens on dialup or it doesn't affect me when I try from my BSD box... Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
