[Description lobene 2004-05-19 23:59:32 UTC]

I've follow the doc at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml and it works fine (thx vapier for the doc), but I don't know when and why, sometimes I can't check them, I have a Login Failed.

Here is a exemple of what i've go in /var/log/message:
 
May 20 08:42:07 my_box pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
May 20 08:42:12 my_box pop3d-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
May 20 08:42:14 my_box pop3d-ssl: Unexpected SSL connection shutdown.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
can't check pop3s account (sometime)

what client are you using that is producing this message?
can you reproduce this with normal pop3 (no ssl)?

I haven't installed a pop3d, I have imaps, pop3s; and without ssl, I can't check mails neither.
I currently use sylpheed to get my e-mails, but it's the same with others prg.
Probably it's a miss config, don't think that this is a bug, but I'm not sure.

courier-imap provides non-SSL pop3d and imapd.
use the non-SSL pop3d and try to reproduce the bug.

same bug without SSL and same message error in /var/log/message

[Comment 5 Clint Silvester 2004-06-02 12:27:30 UTC]

I've been bitten by this.  It was caused by an update to vpopmail, which meant courier-imap needed to be recompiled with the new stuff in vpopmail.  There was something from vpopmail in the etc-update that needed to be in place before the recompile would work, though.  I'd check that.  I knew that courier-imap needed to be compiled after vpopmail was updated per the howto, but didn't notice the etc-update stuff until after.  Can you confirm that sometimes you can authenticate, but then it stops after a few minutes?  If so, this will probably fix your problem.  I don't know if we can make vpopmail recompile courier-imap if it gets updated...  I don't think there's any way to do that.

clearing up my bug tracking

Robin this ssl connection shutdown is normally when the client exits ... I know evolution thunderbird both show this when they exit in the log files.

[Comment 8 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-07-26 08:44:27 UTC]

I don't see any bug here, perhaps someone close this?

[Comment 9 Robin Johnson 2006-11-14 04:02:28 UTC]

closing per Jory's comment that weird shutdown is actually normal.
