Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ4R



URGENT!!  Started happening today. The pop service keeps going wrong. When
users try to pop their mail, the connection is refused or says it can't
connect to the mail server. When I go to the control panel and click on
save changes to restart the services, it works again for about an hour
then errors again.

Where can I go to see what is going wrong please?

Its most likely to be logged in either:

 1. /var/log/maillog
 2. /var/log/messages

Telnet/SSH into the server, "su" to change to root and then you can "tail" the file to see whats happening - try something like:

 tail -f /var/log/maillog  (to view the running output from the server)
tail -f /var/log/maillog | grep qpopper (to view just POP3 server messages)

If the "maillog" file shows nothing - try "messages".

Hope that helps...
