.pop lock busy, POP EOF, and passowrd incorrect errors (NEWBIE)

[Chucil]

<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I am a newbie with sendmail. Occassionally, my users <br>
complain that they can't get their email. I check <br>
/var/log/messages (BSD equivalent of /var/adm/messages),<br>
and usually see one of the following messages:<br>
<br>
.pop lock busy. Is another session active?<br>
<br>
-ERR POP EOF received<br>
<br>
-ERR password supplied for &quot;username&quot; is incorrect.<br>
<br>
On one hand, I know what each message means, but they <br>
don't seem to be accurate. For example, I have hardcoded<br>
my password into my email client, but I still get the<br>
password incorrect error. I change my password on the<br>
server, and can telnet to it, etc. , but sendmail still<br>
kicks out the password error. HAs anyone seen this? I have<br>
checked sendmail.org, does anyone know any other good sites?<br>
Maybe a site of sendmail error messages and fixes?<br>
<br>
Thanks!
