vpopmail is loosing connection to database

[Spacedust]

It never happened before.

I have to run:

sh /script/fixvpop then qmailctl stop; qmailctl start

Run 'sh /script/fixmail-all' will be fix this issue (including vpopmail connect to mysql).

It seems to fix itself, but pretty scary :/

Hi,

Mostlikely there are attempts to change the mysql root password. Thats what I have mentioned earlier.

If thats the case, then your server may become a spamming server soon.

To identify if this activity is going on, just register or make a backup of the table dbadmin, I think. After vpop password got changed or it could not connect, restore that table and you shall see that vpop can connect without any problem.

I have done this and found that it worked because the old enc. password was in there and could connect without problems! When I raised this issue, all did not understand or they neglected.
