Re: sendmail / temp files
# find /home -name [a-z][a-z][a-z].[0-9]*
/home/frp/frp.11382
/home/fas/fas.3996
/home/fgc/fgc.29648
These are all mail files that have been dropped into homes, as I described above.
I just made a huge discovery. The files are created when the users POP in to get mail, NOT when the mail is being delivered to their inbox.
I dropped several large emails into my own inbox, then when I clicked on my mail client's send-receive button 30 seconds later, the temp file appeared briefly.
Apparently, when an inbox is too large, or perhaps mailformed, I have issues.
Well, this happens with users on Outlook, Eudora and Thunderbird, so it's not the client at fault.
As mentioned, perhaps my /home area is too small and it's as simple as that.
I don't know anything about the processes involved when POP is is session.

Re: sendmail / temp files
We're using FacetWin POP3, so the process fct_pop3d appears briefly when I pop in for mail from my PC.
I think I need to look at the FacetWin POP3 environment.

Re: sendmail / temp files
Only that FacetWin's POP3 is in compliance with RFC1460, Post Office Protocol - Version 3, June 1993.
I have a question, I started used FacetWin because in the old days HP-UX 9 & 10 didn't have a POP3d.
I'm running HP-UX 11.11, does it now?

Re: sendmail / temp files
With most modern POP daemons, you've got good ability to control what goes where.
We usually set up a hierarchy outside of /var/mail or /home for POP, so that if things break, it's just POP breaking (e.g. /var/spool/pop).

Re: sendmail / temp files
If not, I'll have to increase /home to be quite large.
Or switch to another POP3d.

You've got to compile it. I bet there's a built version at the porting archive.
