[cobalt-users] [Qube2] odd e-mail problem

["Aaron Bahmer" <abahmer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are having sporadic problems concerning some of our e-mail 
users. On uncertain occasions, the user's password is rejected by 
the POP client--a password which worked the day before.

In the /home/spool/mail folder, a file is created called
	.username.pop

with a filesize of 0.

Users who are getting their mail regularly do not have such a file.

If I delete the file, it is re-created by the next mail login failure. 
Although this file is not the cause of the problem, I would like to 
know what it signifies. Any ideas??
