weird mail problem

im running sendmail and qpopper to send and recieve mail using clients such as outlook

well, yesterday, my outlook would connect to the server fine, seems as if it checks for mail, then disconnects

great

but when sending mail, it gave me errors saying the server unexpectidly terminated the connection.

well, also, i found out that not only was there a problem trying to send mail

but mail wasn't actually being recieved even though it looks as if outlook had checked for it

i restarted qpopper and that didn't solve the problem

so i just restarted the whole server, which cured the problem, then between 1 min and 2 hours all my mail started comming to me

which means my server couldn't have been reciving mail, cause if it had been, after the restart, all mail would have gone to outlook instantly

so it seems like its not a qpopper problem, but a sendmail one

the server had only been up for 12 days

so i will see if it happens again in the future, but it has worried me a little and would like to fix the problem

any help would be great

thanx
