[cobalt-users] POP failure.. Maybe Kernel error?



Hi All,

Since this morning, all of my users attempting to access their e-mail on
a raq3 using any POP3 client get refused as thought their password was
no good.  I first tried to change the users password through the admin
interface, but received the same error.  When I check the maillog, this
is the error I get for all the users.  Here is just a snippet from the
log.  

<snip>
Jul  2 09:53:27 www2 in.qpopper[1873]: [SYS/TEMP] Unable to open
temporary maildrop '/var/spool/mail/.don.pop': Input/output error (5)
Jul  2 09:53:27 www2 in.qpopper[1873]: don at 206.128.220.58
(206.128.220.58): -ERR [SYS/TEMP] Failed to create
/var/spool/mail/.don.pop with uid 160, gid 100. Change permissions.
</snip>

I am really at a loss here.  I searched the net and came up with enough
sporadic info to guess it is a qpopper problem, but I might be wrong.

According to the logs, this started at 5:33 this morning.  At 5:32, the
users were able to log on.  I checked the other logs and saw at 5:40AM
the kernel went through a whole LOT of stuff.  It is all Chinese to me,
but I attached it at the end of this e-mail hoping someone can help me
shed some light on this.

Everything else is working fine.  Web server, web interface... All A-OK.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?  Or where I can look to get
this working again?

I am sorry for this long e-mail.  I really was not sure how much of the
kernel info was relevant or not, and figured I was better giving more
info then less... :)  Please let me know if I should not post this kind
of information in the future.

Thank you,
Jimmy
