Greetings All,
Question for the group: I have encountered a situation that causes me to believe an ISP is snoopingthrough encrytped mail. It seems that PGP'd mail has aroused the curiosity of an ISP (not hooked.net).. I have encountered "POP3 account in use by another user" several times in the past few days and I am the only user... wondering if that "in use" messsage is the result of a clumsy sysadmin being caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Any thoughts from the group??? If those more knowledgeable than I deem these NOISE... my sincere apologies.
An admin could just copy the mail spool file to a safer place, then read through at their leisure. Unless its someone totally clueless (which some ISP's are), I doubt that they are pulling off the pop3d. It could be that your mail spool file is locked by a mail transport agent, and that is why that error message is occuring. Any thoughts?
