You can tell Qpopper to ignore these messages, either at
compile-time or run-time.
From the Administrator's Guide:
Either use '--enable-uw-kludge' with ./configure (after a 'make
clean'), or add 'set uw-kluge' to a configuration file.

Hello,
I've just installed qpopper 4.0.1, everything works fine but in some cases I
get lots of messages like this:
I/O error flushing output to client ... : Operation not permitted (1)
I already checked permissions on my spool directory.
Can someone help me?
Thanks and regards

Subject: ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
Hello folks. We've been having trouble since we upgraded to using Qpopper
4.0.1 (on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE). We were using Qpopper 2.5.3 (on FreeBSD
2.2.6-RELEASE). Some users with no modem, computer, or settings problems
(who were able to receive mail via Qpopper 2.5.3) can not receive
mail. The e-mail clients being used very (Outlook, Outlook Express,
Netscape). So far, nobody using Eudora has had a problem. Folks who are
having the problem, who then install and try Eudora work fine while using
Eudora. If they try their other e-mail client it continues to
fail. Example of errors are listed below. The most common single error is...
<USERNAME> at <DNS & IP ADDRESS>: -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
Some less frequent errors are...
I/O error flushing output to client <USERNAME> at <DNS & IP ADDRESS>:
Operation not permitted (1)
(null) at <DNS & IP ADDRESS>: -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
We have set the following options...
set cache-dir = /var/spool/poptemp
set temp-dir = /var/spool/poptemp
set log-facility = local0
set chunky-writes = tls
set server-mode
set downcase-user
set statistics
set trim-domain
set timeout = 600
Any ideas and suggestions would be much appreciated. Please reply to the
list. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Qpopper 4.0.2 available
Qpopper 4.0.2 is available at
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/>.
Changes from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2:
----------------------------
1. Added fix for XTND XMIT (sent in by Jacques Distler and
others).
2. Fixed makefile problems with poppassd compile and install
(sent in by Steven Champeon).
3. Increased maximum spool path length from 64 to 256.
4. Added more debug code when genpath() runs out of room.
5. Changed C++ style comments to C style in poppassd.c
6. Changed poppassd's UID check to be the same as Qpopper's
(which is that if BLOCK_UID is defined we use that value,
otherwise it defaults to 10).
7. Added poppassd expect strings for DEC True 64 (sent in by
Andres Henckens).

Hi, everybody.
Our company have migrate from NT 4.0 to Linux, We are now using samba

So that is natural to replace Exchange Server5.5 to sendmail to provide
mail service to users, we found Qpopper is a good pop3 service and planed
to use Qpopper 4.0 and pam-smb PAM authentication to use samba password
information. But I tried more than twice all failed following pam-smb

Any help will be appreciated.
I've never done it myself, but have a look at:

thay had an artickel on getting samba to use windows password.
Might help?

Hello -
Yes, I started noticing these messages too, but so far it doesn't seem
to stop mail being delivered - I've tested with Netscape, Turnpike (the
UK mail client for the large Demon ISP) and the Mailman webmail package
we're also running.
I'll wait for screams from clients using Outlook Express.
Running on RH6.1 linux,
Would be very pleased to find out what this means and is there a patch?

Subject: Duplicate messages
Whenever I upgrade the version of my qpopper, users begin to receive the
old emails they had already downloaded.
I can't activate auto-delete and I cannot go to 1000 computers to delete
lmos.dat under eudora. (some of them are using outlook, outlook express,
internet mail, etc)
Have anyone found a solution of old messages being treated as new,
whenever qpopper is upgraded ?
one of my options used when configuring is
--enable-old-uidl

The inconvenience with that is, most of the users check their emails from
not only one computer.

Subject: Qpopper 4.0.2 with STLS and alternate port
Trying to set the latest release of qpopper so that I can use both the stls
port (110) and the alternate port (995). We have a mixed user base of
clients, Eudora, Outlook, and Netscape. Eudora uses port 110 just fine
with stls, but Outlook croaks using 110. I've tried to set up the
alternate port, and the stls port like the book says, but it doesn't make a
lot of sense. Here's the "destructions" from the admin manual:
"If you want to enable both alternate-port and STLS, you can do this with
three configuration files. One file contains the set tls-support = stls
command, and a second file contains the set tls-support = alternate-port
command. Both files also contain one other command, which instructs
qpopper to read the third configuration file, for example, set config-file
= /etc/mail/pop/qpopper-tls.config. Set all other options in this third
file. The use the -f run-time option to cause Qpopper to read either of
the first two files."
If it only reads either of the first two files, howinell you gonna get both
stls _and_ alternate-port going at the same time? Also, I would assume,
(this is a Solaris 8 box I'm using for test purposes) that I'd have to
modify /etc/services to list the alternate port of 995. What service do I
call the port? Pop3 is already bound to port 110.
Thanks,

For two of our users (so far) the following solution seems to have
worked. Don't know why. Could the e-mail clients be remembering something
from using the Qpopper 2.5.3, that causes the client (or Qpopper 4.0.1) to
give this error and not receive e-mail?
Possible solution:
I had 1 Outlook and 1 Outlook Express user remove the "account" from the
settings, reboot and re-add the "account" to their e-mail settings. The
error stopped and they received their e-mail.
I would prefer to know why this happens to avoid additional helpdesk calls
from upgrading to 4.0.1. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance.

I am using Mac OS X server 1.2 v3.
I was able to send and receive mail with OS X server using Mail viewer ,but
only using imap.
After shutting down the machine for a few months and trying to restart my
mail server , I have had not luck.
At this point , my machine settings have not changed and I can not figure
this out.
1. I am using a single static IP
2. I am able to access the net with Mac OS X server
3. I can do a remote log in
4. I can run Apache Web server
5. I can FTP into the server.
6.
I get the error with trying to send mail to the server , like no mailbox at
myhost.com error # 5.1.1
I tried to keep it easy with using Mailviewer which shipped with OS X
server.
Now , I have tired to un archive q popper and I can not find it and I am not
sure if its opening....
I am totally frustrated....
Has anyone had success with Q POPPER using it with Mac OS X server 1.2 v3
with a cable modem connection ,behind a firewall ?

I am trying to get the SSL-support of qpopper4.0.2 running on Solaris8.
No success so far.
I use Netscape Messenger V4.77 as a client (it should support SSL
connections to a POP server).
My qpopper log file looks good; SSL-certs are recognized by qpopper;
connection to netscape on host "bacdelac" starts ... BUT no encryption
of the network packets takes place. All data is transmitted in clear
text.
[I've attached the session log file].
Any ideas? Any hints whats going wrong here?
Regards,
Peter

The new service is spop3 (secure POP3). There should also be simap
(secure IMAP) at 993.

We were using qpopper 3.1.2 and we didn´t have any type of problem with
it.
After we upgraded to 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 therefore, we receive a lot of
messages "ERR POP EOF or I/O Error" on syslog and our pop clients can´t
download their e-mails. I think there is a bug here.

The message "I/O error flushing output to client" almost always
means the client shut down without waiting for the response to the
QUIT. Don't worry about it.

"ERR POP EOF or I/O Error" is different than "I/O error flushing
output to client".
"I/O error flushing output to client" usually means that Qpopper
got an error shutting down the connection. This is usually because
the client didn't wait for the response to QUIT.
"ERR POP EOF or I/O Error" means the client disconnected without
even sending QUIT.
You can try adjusting the chunky-writes option. I've seen this
cause problems when the network path between Qpopper and the client
is congested. The larger packets get dropped, and the client
(almost always Outlook or OE) has a too-short timeout and
disconnects.
If possible, try increasing the client timeout. Also check for
excessive packet loss during the time of the error.

It looks to me like this is the key error. It sounds like the cert

I don't see Netscape requesting SSL. Perhaps it only supports
alternate-port. If so, set up a second Qpopper on port spop3 and
configure it for alternate-port, and tell Netscape to use it.

My guess is that your previous version of Qpopper was compiled with
NO_STATUS, which prevented it from writing X-UIDL headers into the
spool.
My suggestion is to use Qpopper 4.0.2 and add 'set old-style-uid'
(and also 'set update-status-headers' just to be sure) to a
configuration file. The next time each user checks mail, old-style
UIDs are written to the spool. From then on, the UID of those
messages won't change (since it's in the spool).
If you really want to run with the equivalent of NO_STATUS, you can
add 'reset old-style-uid' and 'reset update-status-headers' to the
configuration file after all users with non-empty spools have
checked mail at least once.
(You can also set these per-user if you prefer.)

The Qpopper that is servicing port pop3 uses the configuration file
that tells it to support sstls. The Qpopper that is servicing port
spop3 uses the configuration file that tells it to support
alternate-port ssl.

Subject: SSL/No process listening on port 995
Hello,
I've spent the past few days learning about securing popper, and I'd like
to use qpopper 4's SSL support to connect with Outlook, Outlook Express, or
Netscape.
I followed the instructions in the FAQ and qpopper.pdf on how to create a
dummy test CA + key pair and certificate for the server + have that CA
certify the server's certificate. When launching popper in stand-alone
mode, no process listens on port 995.
1. Compile OpenSSL, create a dummy CA, create a pair of keys and a
certificate for the server, and certify its certificate:
//Where to save files
mkdir -p -m665 /etc/mail/pop/certs
chown root:mail /etc/mail/pop/certs
chmod 660 /etc/mail/pop/certs
//Create public/private keys for server
openssl req -new -nodes -out /etc/mail/pop/certs/req.pem -keyout
/etc/mail/pop/certs/cert.pem
chmod 600 /etc/mail/pop/certs/cert.pem
chown root:0 /etc/mail/pop/certs/cert.pem
//Create dummy CA, and certify server's certificate
openssl genrsa -des3 -out /etc/mail/pop/certs/ca.key 1024
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key /etc/mail/pop/certs/ca.key -out
/etc/mail/pop/certs/ca.crt
openssl x509 -req -CA /etc/mail/pop/certs/ca.crt -CAkey
/etc/mail/pop/certs/ca.key -days 365 -in /etc/mail/pop/certs/req.pem -out
/etc/mail/pop/certs/signed-req.pem -CAcreateserial
cat /etc/mail/pop/certs/signed-req.pem >> /etc/mail/pop/certs/cert.pem
------------------------ STAND-ALONE MODE
2. Compile qpopper for SSL + APOP + stand-alone mode
./configure --enable-shy --enable-specialauth --enable-apop
--enable-standalone --with-openssl --with-gdbm
3. Launch qpopper in stand-alone mode with a basic configuration file:
set tls-support = stls
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/pop/certs/cert.pem
./popper -f ./qpopper.config
=> No process listening on port 995!
------------------------ XINETD MODE
Just to check if this was due to popper running in stand-alone mode, I left
/etc/services as is (pop3s already included by RH),
copy/pasted/etc/xinetd.d/pop3 as pop3s, and killall -HUP xinetd:
1. ./configure --enable-shy --enable-specialauth --enable-apop
--enable-standalone --with-openssl --with-gdbm
2. service pop3s
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/popper
server_args = qpopper -l 1
port = 995
}
... where -l 1 is supposed to allow SSL. netstat -tuplan sez still nothing
on port 995.
3. Create a dummy user account in /etc/passwd + shadow (ie. no APOP
account), and connect with OExpress 5 (Log on using SPA is off, POP3/This
server requires a secure connection is on):

I believe Netscape 4.x clients only do simap, not spop3. Outlook does
both, however.

This warns you that because your spool is in mmdf format Qpopper
can't generate the cache file, which is a major speed-up in Qpopper
4.0. The mmdf format means messages in your spool have a
terminator line (usually 0x01010101) following each message,
instead of a 'From ' line preceding each message. Qpopper handles
this, except for cache files.

It only takes one of the machines they check from to delete-after-read
and the problem doesn't occur.
Most often people want to be able to check from home overnight, but the
work machine is canonical. For ISPs, sometimes this is reversed.

Surely this is a good reason to encourage them to not leave mail on the
server?

Why not?
And why can't you activate mail spool quotas so that if they leave lots
of mail on the server, they'll eventually be shut down automatically?

You may be joking, but it's worth pointing out that normally
upgrading Qpopper is invisible to end users (except for speed
improvements).
The only time there is a risk of old messages being downloaded
again is if the previous version of Qpopper was pre-3.x and
compiled with NO_STATUS. Even then, there is a way to upgrade
without problems, as I've described in an earlier email.

Subject: "Insufficient room to generate path"
Hi all,
I just installed Qpopper 4.0.2 on a FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE system. I'm
getting the following error messages in the log any time someone tries to
download their mail, though:
May 10 12:13:08 cosmos popper[11031]: Insufficient room to generate path
for user cgray; need more than 919; have only 256
May 10 12:13:08 cosmos popper[11031]: cgray at 10.0.0.13 (10.0.0.13): -ERR
[SYS/TEMP] Unable to get spool name
Any thoughts on that? I've reverted back to 3.1.2 for now.
Also, on a side note, I saw that the compilation problem with poppassd was
fixed, but there is still one minor problem. I don't know if it affects
all systems, but it does at least affect FreeBSD, since there is no "root"
group. In the "install:" target in password/Makefile, the following
command gets executed:
install:
${INSTALL} -m 4755 -o root -g root poppassd ${installdir}/poppassd; \
echo "Installed poppassd as ${installdir}/poppassd"
Forcing the group to root with the "-g root" switch will cause the install
to fail under FreeBSD, since there is no "root" group. I saw that in
popper/Makefile, there is no -g parameter. Removing it altogether would
probably work on any platform; changing it to "wheel" would work with
FreeBSD and probably other BSD platforms, but might break under Linux or
other OS's.

Subject: Unable to process From lines (envelope), change recognition
We're running qpopper 3.1.2 on an AIX 4.3.3 system. Recently, we have
started getting reports of the From line message error from Eudora users (a
ratio of about 1 out of every 2500 mails received). We found that a CTRL-@
(unprintable) was the first character of the users mail file.
Eventually, we found some one character mail files containing CTRL-@. By
looking at the popper logs and mail logs, I found that the time of the file
corresponded to the time sendmail was delivering mail to that user. The
mail (from both internal and external sources) was not delivered to the
user. popper logs don't show activity for that user at that time.
Since we use the sendmail supplied by IBM, we decided to talk to
them. After two days of explaining the symptoms, IBM still says the
problem is popper, not bellmail (which actually writes the file). They
suggest that popper and bellmail may handle file locking in different and
incompatible ways. Their only suggestion is to run the IBM popper, but the
performance hit makes me wary of this suggestion.
Has this type of problem been reported before? I found the message in the
FAQ, but it deals with procmail, which we're not using.
Can you tell me how popper handles file locking, and do you know if it's
compatible with the way bellmail handles file locking? Do you have any
suggestions on solving this problem?

Subject: Re: Fwd: ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
The chunky-writes (never) option seems to make no difference. I did turn
on the following option:
set log-login = "v%0 POP login by user %1 at (%2) %3"
I noticed that the error occurs before the POP login. For users with the
POP EOF or I/O error problem no POP login line is generated. However, the
username is included on the POP EOF error line.
Also, one client's screen (Outlook Express) displays authorizing until they
get a message stating that the POP server hasn't responded (prompting STOP
or WAIT). The user pressed WAIT several times then was prompted (again)
for their password (no invalid password lines were generated in the
log). It then downloaded messages.
I had one user (with the POP EOF error) set their POP server back to a
machine running 2.5.3. Copied their mail file over to the 2.5.3 machine
and had them check their mail. They received their mail fine. Set the
POP server back to the machine running 4.0.1 (same mail file still there),
checked the mail just fine with no error.
This is very frustrating. Any other suggestions? Is anyone else
continuing to have this trouble? Any bug reports been filed? Are any of
the older versions safe to use?
Any help would be much appreciated. -Bob

Qpopper uses dot-locking as well as flock() or fcntl(). What does
IBM's delivery agent use?

Try upgrading to Qpopper 4.0.2, as I believe there was one locking

That indicates the client had sent the USER command, but timed out
before it sent the PASS command. Are all these clients Outlook or
Outlook Express?

If you can, have the users either try a different client (such as
Eudora or Netscape), or at least increase the network timeout.
Try turning on debug tracing in Qpopper, perhaps for only those users
who have problems. You can also try capturing packet traces.
To enable tracing in Qpopper:
1. Do a 'make clean'
2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t tracefile'.
4. Send inetd a HUP signal.
This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog (if you used
'-d') or to the file specified as 'tracefile'.

Subject: Qpopper 4.02/OpenSSL 0.9.6a - TLS/Alt port error
Hi there,
With any luck this will be a no brainer for someone out there..
I have an Alpha running DUnix 4 which works and has been working fine
for a number of years with the various versions of Qpopper without a
problem. We have been concerned with some security issues and so
Qpopper 4 supporting SSL was a great idea for us, nice integration
with Eudora 5.1 etc.
The problem is (on the 5.1r client side):
(All works fine when things are set to SSL for POP: none)
Error while checking mail for <<Dominant>>
I said: STLS
And then the POP server said: SSL negotiation failed.
The problem (from the server side):
May 11 15:10:38 <host> -f [24170]: (null) at <address> (IP): -ERR POP
EOF or I/O Error
May 11 15:10:38 <host> -f[24170]: I/O error flushing output to client
at <address> [IP]: Broken pipe
(32)
Setup was:
./configure --enable-shy --enable-specialauth --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl/
/etc/services
pop3 110/tcp
spop3 995/tcp
/etc/inetd.conf
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper402 -f
/etc/mail/pop/qpopper-stls.config popper402
spop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper402 -f
/etc/mail/pop/qpopper-alp.config popper402
/etc/mail/pop-% more qpopper-stls.config
set tls-support = stls
set config-file = /etc/mail/certs/qpopper.config
/etc/mail/pop-% more qpopper-alp.config
set tls-support = alternate-port
set config-file = /etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config
/etc/mail/pop-% more qpopper.config
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/pop/cert.pem
set clear-text-passwords = never
set chunky-writes = tls
OpenSSL 0.9.6a was installed (for usage with OpenSSH) it compiled,
tested and installed fine.
I am at a loss for getting STLS going with Qpopper working and would
gladly accept others advice..
Cheers,
Mathew.

This problem happened to us once last week with 4.0.1. Some non-ASCII
character must have been left in the maildrop since grep kept saying
it was a binary file. This had never happened before over the last
7 years with earlier Qpoppers. Our setup is AIX 4.3.3 + procmail 3.15
+ sendmail 8.11.3 (built from source).
This week we moved to 4.0.2 and so far so good....
