Ok.. I may have send this out before, but since my mail is acting weird I thought that I would try again. Running POPPER in 3.2-RELEASE, the client gets the message that popper cannot open the temporary file..."do you own it?" I am assuming that POPPER is having a problem with /var/mail/.[user].pop and some privilege is not being set right. The mail server is a NIS secondary server and client and is automounting (amd) the /var/mail from an NFS server (as do all my hosts). Has anyone seen this problem before ... I am assuming that it is a problem with NIS and the way that I have /var/mail shared across the network. Is there a better way? For the time being, I have reset my domains so that the pop mail host is the NFS server (for whom /var/mail is local) and that is woking for a temporary fix. This server works pretty hard and the service needs to be moved eventually.
