POP3 stalling when downloading large emails

PatrickS
Hi,

Ver. 5.026. Sometimes when users download large files (2 meg Image files or so) using the POP3 proxy, the email client (thunderbierd 0.8) just hangs. This just started happening in the last couple of days. Been running fine with the current versions for a month or so. I disabled spam filtering, to see if that helps. I have a feeling it the Virus scanner though. Weird thing is Astaro locks out that email account on outside server that we pop email from. I can only assume it is continuing to try to pull down the email from our ISP, even though Thunderbird is closed. I verified this by rebooting Astaro, then I can login into whatever users account that had the problem again. If I don't reboot Astaro then I cannot login to that users account. [:S]

    William,

    Well I was just looking for the photo's that caused the problem last week. I found the 3 pics that I know were a problem, so I sent them to the outside and then tried popping them down to my email. Low and behold it is now working??

    I've rebooted a couple of times since the initial problem. So I'm not sure what happened? The 3 pic attachment was a little over 2 megs. and took about 30-40 seconds to download. Which is not bad actually, seeing how our DSL connection is 384kbps.

    Anyway thanks for the offer to help me troubleshoot, but it seems it's working now.  [:S]

    Best Regards,
    Patrick
