5313.0. "pop server doesn't work as an aux service" by CSC32::M_MENKHUS (Mark Menkhus (719)531-5853 @home)) Thu Mar 06 1997 19:43

    Hi,
    
    I noticed that the pop server is documented to work as an auxillary
    service.  It does not.  If the ucx$pop_01 process dies. You need to
    $ @sys$manager:ucx$pop_shutdown
    $ @sys$manager:ucx$pop_startup
    
    When the pop service is enabled, and the process is not active, no
    service request is logged via opcom.  When you use the "restart"
    method, described above, and make a conneciton attempt, there is a
    opcom message and the pop client is able to process mail.
    
    Any ideas? UCX 4.1, eco4, and VMS 6.2

Message from user INTERnet on RIPPER
INTERnet ACP detected UCX$POP exiting before 'accept'


From a PC, I started Netscape Mail, which points to the UCX as POP Server:

$
%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM  10-MAR-1997 18:05:09.36  %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user INTERnet on RIPPER
INTERnet ACP POP Accept Request from Host: 16.153.32.163 Port: 1627

	I did find on one occassion that ucx$pop will not restart, after 
the process was killed; by disabling the pop serve, and then re-enable it,
inetacp was then able to activate the pop service upon next request!

    I am running an unpatched V4.1 UCX.
