Hello, OK, this problem is not caused by my mail client, or my client machine. Our test machine is actually refusing logins via IMAP after some time. It has been working perfectly for about 2 hours, but just now it has stopped accepting logins via IMAP from the "monitoring" user account again. Has anyone seen this bug before? Do you know if a later version of something fixes the problem? Thanks again, Hobbs. -- Richard Hobbs (Systems Administrator) Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. - Speech Technology Group Web: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/research/ Email: richard.hobbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: +44 1223 376964 Mobile: +44 7811 803377 > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Richard Hobbs > Sent: 09 June 2005 10:58 > To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' > Subject: RE: Login restrictions in NIS environment > > Hello, > > Apologies to all...
