The solutions provided in this thread apply for both retirement and a temporary fix to a stupid admin problem. My problem is the latter. I deliver mail to $HOME/.mail, and while this works great for keeping user files all together, it blew up in my face when I moved $HOME to NFS. Using procmail for local delivery has worked great, even in an NFS environment, but for some reason, the popper (cucipop) gets ahead of itself when shoveling messages to the users. The mailbox format is 100% correct, yet on occasion, a message will terminate abruptly and immediately cut into the next message. This doesn't happen very often, and the same cucipop binary works flawlessly when run from the host where the filesystem lives. This is only happening over NFS, and only when popping mail. Anyways, netcat is working out very well. I've not had any complaints on the new setup. Now, I just need to find the time and money to build a new box so I can get the shell/mail server shoved off into it's own little world. -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
