If compiled with a different profile than vanilla, Freepopsd get killed while fetching the email from the web server. This was tested on a machine with an Athlon Xp 2400+, Gcc 3.3.6, kernel linux-2.6.13-gentoo-r5. The freepops module used was libero.ula. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gcc 3.3.6 2. switch the profile to the standard hardened profile 3. emerge freepops 0.0.31 or the masked freepops 0.0.95 4. configure and launch the daemon 5. try to download email from any supported providers (ex: libero, virgilio...) with your preferred mua client Actual Results: Freepopsd dies and get killed.

maybe a network capture will help you see some more detail.
reported upstream as per REF URL Andreas if you want to attempt a backtrace look at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml the section on Debugging using GDB Use on the command /usr/bin/freepopsd -d -vv + whatever other /etc/conf.d/freepopsd options get translated to in /etc/init.d/freepopsd Attach backtrace on the upstream bug report

Comment on attachment 78381 [details] Strace log of freepopsd crashing I already tried to obtain a backtrace log without success. Anyway this is a strace of the program crashing in a "faulty" session.
