Hi, I just installed qpopper2.53 on an AMD 386DX40 machine w/ 16mb RAM, running FreeBSD 3.2R. After the mail has been fetched from this host and qpopper is done, it doesn't rm the lockfile: boxx# l /var/mail total 8264 -rw------- 1 thomas mail 0 Jul 8 11:48 .thomas.pop -rw------- 1 annette users 868808 Jul 8 10:44 annette -rw------- 1 thomas users 0 Jul 8 11:48 thomas Do other users experience the same problem? Might it be because it is such a small box (though it isn't loaded much)? If mail is fetched again, qpopper does not notice the already existing lock, at least there is nothing in the logs and the fetch works fine. Is this a FreeBSD specific problem (someone told me FreeBSD, or *BSD, has some problems with flock())? I had the same version of qpopper running on Linux (on the same box) for some months, which worked flawlessly. Any help appreciated. thomas.
