Hello,
I run a Watchguard FireboxII and am having a problem with connections
staying open indefinately after remote users check thier pop3 mail. My
traffic is low, but load is high...
At any given time I will have 100 connections on port 110 to each of 2
remote users. Thats 200 connections.
These are slowly adding up throughout a day. after each time the user checks
thier mail, 3 connections remain.
I can turn off the mail server, have the user turn off the mail client and
the connections remain. No traffic is moving accross them, they are just
using up firewall resources keeping them open.
I know the remote users systems well, and they are running personal software
firewalls, good antivirus, spyware trackers etc.
I think that it may be some sort of error in closing the connection. Not
sure if its related to my firewall or my mail server though.
Do any of you have advice on this?
Thanks,
Aaron
