Lotus Domino 6.0.3 Win32 runs POP3 Task with SSL. Sometime POP3 clients don’t close sessions (I don’t know what a reason of this). And server doesn’t dropped this sessions after 10 minutes. And these POP3 user’s can’t login with error “Unable to obtain exclusive access to maildrop”. I should restart POP3 Server to solve this problem.
Please help. I saw some the same postings int these forum, but I didn’t see any solutions there
Subject: POP3_SESSION_TIMEOUT=10 doesn’t work
I’m using a ND651 IF1 as a POP3, IMAP & SMTP server .In Domino server i have to config document server is : Routing tasks: Mail Routing, SMTP Mail Routing.
My clients are using MS outlook express and some one using MS oulook 200x, when my connection to block or down then some users/domain lotus error dialog in the domino console.
I tried to enter command in to server console: load object collect mail\users.nsf and then next : load compact mail\users.nsf (<— mail : folder name and users.nsf are user’s data mail). I don’t need to restart pop3 service or restart server domino. So, ok.
But , I don’t know if you upgrade to new version can be this lost error.
Some one explain that, because POP3 using RFC1939 format e-mail support for POP3 and Notesmail If a large number of messages requiring conversion to MIME had to be downloaded, the POP3 server converts every message during its response to the PASS command. If the connection was broken, the server continues to convert until all messages are converted. In Domino 5,6x, the only way to resolve this issue is to restart the Domino server. (POP3 need have to a delay time).
This case, you can open users mail via webmail , you’ll look messages but them cann’t open or error or not auto delete when you checked them via ms outlook.
Follow me: You can add a parameter in Notes.ini file : POP3_SESSION_TIMEOUT = 10 ( default = 0 ).
Good luck
