A few days ago, I responded to a post asking how to get qpopper to run on FreeBSD. One of the things I mentioned, was to change the directories in popper.h. DO NOT DO THIS, YOU MAY LOOSE MAIL. Earlier tonight, I lost an untold amount of mail when my server rebooted. Of course, in /etc/rc. /tmp is cleaned up. Nothing survives... not even temporary mail files. Damn blanktime thingie... grrr.... Oh well... I didn't loose anything important... just the 2-300 messages I get each day from various lists. :) ttyl, Troy (Oh, it now seems that the easiest way to get qpopper to work, is to 'chmod 1777 /var/mail' Are there any religious reasons why I don't want to do this?) -- Troy Settle <st@i-Plus.net> Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net ( Stuff I said does not reflect the company I work ) ( for unless I'm speaking on behalf of said company )
