Umm...
Is .username.pop size as same as box size?
On server mode, qpopper makes .username.pop which size is 0 as the
follows.
-rw-rw---- 1 siteadmin mail 0 Mar 3 15:35 .siteadmin.pop
-rw------- 1 siteadmin site1 732 Mar 3 15:35 mbox
This result is on FC1 box.
Before, I checked on CentOS4 box and result is same.
# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/in.qpopper
qpopper-4.0.5-1BQ4
