Infrastructure Software

Has anyone else seen this problem? I don't know what I should look at next.

Qpopper (pop3 services) are a problem for us on Solaris 10, specifically with MS Outlook Express. Qpopper seems to work with other mail clients on a Windows system and we haven't had any complaints from Macintosh users. There is no problem with qpopper on Solaris 8 with Outlook Express on Windows XP.

The steps I have taken are
I recompiled qpopper-4.0.5 on Solaris 10
I removed it from the repository and imported it back into it and re-enabled it.
I ran tcpdump to look at packets, but those looked okay and didn't give me anything informative (not a tcpdump guru).

The specific error in the pop logs is:
-ERR POP EOF or I/O Error [popper.c:820]

The user reports
I get an error message that says the connection was terminated by the server (Error: 0x800ccc0f).

My configuration is
inetadm -l network/pop3/tcp

SCOPE NAME=VALUE
name="pop3"
endpoint_type="stream"
proto="tcp"
isrpc=FALSE
wait=FALSE
exec="/software/common/etc/tcpd -d -s -b /var/spool/popbull"

Thanks for reading this.
