I am having a problem with qpopper 2.2.  For the most part, it appears to 
work great.  I have set it up to use the Bulletin database to track which 
bulletins a user has already read.  However, when more than one person is 
trying to access their pop account, the second person gets an "ERR: Can't 
open Bulletin Database..."  From this I surmised (possibly incorrectly) 
that it is a file locking problem.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, I have solved it temporarily 
by not using the bulletin functions of qpopper.  That is, I did not tell 
it about a bulletin directory or to use the bulletin db when compiling.

Does anyone else have this working?

Thanks,
Linc
