Sometimes my vm-pop3d dies without giving any error.
When I try to restart the service
service vm-pop3d restart
it says
vm-pop3d dead but subsys locked
so I
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/vm-pop3d
and then restart
But this problem is really annoying because when pop3d is dead everthing is dead according to my clients
I examine the /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messeges files but there were no specific cause for this problem.
I was using vm-pop3d 1.16 and exim 3.x I upgraded to latest versions released to exim 4.x and vp-pop3d 1.17 but still this problem happens some time to time.
I guess due to heavy mail usage on my server or anything else sometimes vm-pop3d dies silently but I dont have much more idea.
Please help
