[»] Mail check speed
by Boris Nebriski - Sep 1st 2002 12:46:26

I'm using Qpopper 4.x and I have a problem.
I thought it was the configuration that made this slow.
but now i have another configuration.
P90. 64 MB's of Ram.

If I do a mail check and the client connects to Qpopper.

Then it goes fast checking if there is no mail (added)
But if there is...
The verifiing takes about 1 minut and the
close connection about 1 to 1,5.

I'm using the cash option.
And now my question is, how can i make this quicker?
If this possible?

Maybe you can help me a little bit further.

Kind Regards,

Boris Nebriski

[»] Qpopper -> .PID
by gruberk - Oct 31st 2001 06:09:45

I'm still missing the creation of an .pid file, when qpopper is started. Is this feature on your future plans of implementation or am I just overlooking this?

Under Solaris 8, this left about 50 zombies around in standalone mode before I ixnayed on the .13ay. I don't think this is quite a final release IMHO.

> zombies around in standalone mode Standalone mode was new to Qpopper (it is usually run from inetd). I believe the problem with zombie processes on some platforms is fixed in current versions (Qpopper 3.1.2 and Qpopper LX 4.0b11).
