All sorted, it in fact was permissions on the /tmp directory apparently. My ISP set them incorrectly.

 

Thanks for the replies

Verify that the password you have configured for the POP3 account is accurate. Sounds like it is incorrect and when it tries to use the incorrect password, after so many attempts, the account is locked out.

Do you have a POP3 (?IMAP) server running??

Onderwerp: [otrs] POP3 locks

 

Every time my OTRS connects to my pop server, the account is locked, then each time OTRS attempts to connect, or if we try to log in via web mail, the connection is refused, telling us to check auth details etc.

 

When telnetting into the server, we log on and it says mailbox locked. It seems the only way we can unlock it is to delete the mail box.

 

Any ideas how we can resolve this one? Quite important.

 

Thanks

Mike Hayward
