Charles, if you are using POP-before-SMTP from the shipping version 
and you make use of that feature, you may get into this stuck 
situation.  Unlike WebSTAR, this is NOT something we tolerate. :-)

We have a new POP-before-SMTP module that completely eliminates this 
problem.  The updated module will be part of a free Post.Office 
update expected shortly.

We're happy to privately update your system.  Contact us off the list 
with ssh access information and we'll give you the latest modules.

One fallout of the new POP-before-SMTP architecture is that it 
imposes the limitation that the users pop log in must be the same as 
his email address.  To accomodate users that can't live with this 
restriction, we implemeted SMTP-Auth, which will be part of the 
upcoming release.
