Sometimes, not always, when a user logs in via POP3 to get his messages
from Sendmail, it gives him no messages but puts a file with his username
on it in that directory. The file has his messages in it. what is
happening
here?

1. problem with persistent /var/tmp/.pop files
Hello I am am experiencing a problem where my users are being locked out
from reading mail because sendmail is creating a lock file in the
/var/spool/.pop directory and not deleting it.
These lock files are created to prevent multiple processes accessing the
same mail file however they are crashing about 5 times a day. The average
users receives 50 - 100 messages a day.
The users are using Eudora light or Pro running on a Win 95 peer2peer
network and the sendmail is running on a copy of Slackware 2.0.29.
Could some please advise.
