Hello everyone...

A while ago I upgraded from gcc 3.4.6 -> gcc 4.1.1 but I didn't use the 'guide' which has you rebuild your entire system. I used last weekends upgrade of gcc 4.1.1 -> gcc 4.1.1-r1 as an opportunity to 'finish' that upgrade here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml which included doing the following

emerge -eav system
emerge -eav world

during the 'system' my server 'crashed' (first time ever) and locked up solid. I rebooted it, Of course, at this point there were a lot of 'issues' related to a half upgraded gcc. Instead of actually doing the above emerge as listed I added a p to the flags, then copied/pasted the emerges required and put them into a file and made that file executable and ran that (doing one individual emerge at a time). I made it through this, and then I ran the 'world' the same way. Some 295 packages were recompiled. I ran etc-update and every thing's been updated.

Well since this, my qpopper is going CRAZY... Basically it's not working :-( If I look in the /var/log/inetdlog I see BUNCHES of:

Code:

06/11/29@22:25:08: START: pop-3 pid=29819 from=<no address>
06/11/29@22:25:08: EXIT: pop-3 status=0 pid=29819 duration=0(sec)
06/11/29@22:25:08: FAIL: pop-3 connections per second from=<no address>


In fact each time a pop client tries to grab mail I get 100's of these messages and the mail doesn't get popped off. Thunderbird just doesn't download the mail, Outlook express gives me an error. I found a few posts that had some promising ideas, but nothing has worked so far.

Outlook Express error:
Code:

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Account: 'removed@removed.com', Server: 'mail.removed.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F


This post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-231153-highlight-qpopper.html

talks about making sure xinetd is a use flag for qpopper (which mine wasn't, but of course hasn't been ever AFAIK). That is also an old post. I went ahead and added xinetd to /etc/portage/package.us for qpopper anyway, no luck!

Another post talked about upping the cps value for xinetd.conf, I tried this which hasn't solved the problem. Currently its set to 100 instead of the default 50

Code:

# Define access restriction defaults
#
#       no_access       =
         only_from       = localhost
#       max_load       = 0
         cps                = 100 10
         instances        = 50
         per_source     = 10




I am guessing the <no address> part is at least part of the problem as the two POP clients (outlook express on one PC and Thunderbird on another) both are on my internal network and have valid IPs and connect to the internet fine.

If anyone has any suggestions I'm open for ideas!

Thanks,

Dallace

P.S. one more thing I just tried was telneting into my server port 110. When I do this, the error message start filling up /var/log/inetdlog and the telnet window just sits there. A few seconds after the messages stop, the prompt is returned (disconnected from server) with no errors on the screen

Found this on qpopper's 'FAQ' page... Seems somehow related.

http://qpopper.sourceforge.net/faq.html#zero.IP

---
All IP addresses are logged as 0.0.0.0

This is usually caused by a problem in the specific version of gcc on your platform. Try upgrading gcc.


Looking back in my logs, the <no address> message has been around since like '04 and popper's worked fine since then, so I don't think that's related to *this* problem
