I am having difficulty finding an explaination for some of the entries
in /var/log/maillog. For example:
Apr 24 12:56:39 box29 pop3d: TIMEOUT, user=email@domain,
ip=[::ffff:123.123.123.123], top=0, retr=407317, time=4954
I don't have a solid answer for what 'top', 'retr', and 'time' values
are. I have a specific user that is generating a log very much like the
one above.
I assume 'retr' are number of retries, and 'time' is number of seconds
the session was open. Can you verify for me that this is the server
trying to connect to the client to respond with the requseted
information?
While I'm here, I am also interested in the imapd values:
Apr 20 04:19:31 box29 imapd: DISCONNECTED, user=email@???,
ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=711, time=0
This is a webmail session that was disconnected, I assume because the
client closed the browser window while trying to retreive something,
but I'm not quite sure.
Our servers are running exim v 4.63.
