Has there been any resolution the email not being deleted by Outlook

Thanks.
An update on this issue:
Our sister company in another state just reported that nearly
everybody in
the office (at least 5 people confirmed) are getting duplicate
emails. This
has happened since we moved them over to tpop3d several weeks ago.
They are
all using MS clients, mostly Outlook. It's interesting that ALL of
them are
experiencing the problem and they're also all in a different state.
Probably, since this is a timing issue, the extra latency exacerbates
the
it. People on the same network as the mail server rarely experience
the
dups (although it does happen some times).
As an experiment, I've asked them all to do Windows Update and Office
Update and get all the fixes and service packs and stuff installed
(which
they are quite behind on). Since that'll be a long process, they'll
do it
at the end of the work day. I guess we'll see tomorrow if the service
packs
really fix it.
I have verified that the latest service packs/updates do NOT fix the
problem
in Outlook (and even if it did, that would still leave the Outlook
Express
users hanging...). I've also actually gotten some duplicate emails
while
using Kmail!
So I decided to try the hack mentioned a while ago for netloop.c:
- if (r && !connection_isfrozen(c)) {
+ if (1) {
- while (c->cstate == running && (p =
connection_parsecommand(c)))
{
+ while ((p = connection_parsecommand(c))) {
I haven't had a chance to gauge whether this helps, but I am seeing
this in
the logs:
Mar 24 15:40:41 mail2 tpop3d[11552]: quit: signal 11 post_fork = 1
Mar 24 15:40:41 mail2 tpop3d[26360]: net_loop: child process 11552
killed by
signal 11 (shouldn't happen)
Apparently that change causes each fork of tpop3d to die when the
connection
is closed. It looks like it dies only after finishing everything
important,
and it seems to actually be working like that.
Even so, can anyone suggest a change that would allow it to exit
gracefully?
Thanks.
