[cobalt-security] RE mailproblems after RaQ2 upgrade.



Hi, I solved all my problems with this OS3.0 upgrade.
Thanks to some reader of this mailing list, he gave me the clue within 10 minutes after posting it. 
When you upgrade your RaQ2 to this OS3.0 release, a problem will be introduced with Qpopper. Because I have over 100 customers on this machine, I had almost instantly a major problem, as one may imagine.
Cobalt has a patch for this problem since September 28 on their website. So it took them 2 months to solve it?? I am so happy I did not upgrade before ;-)
On my machine, email accounts got locked when one tried to read email.
After the upgrade (All System 3.0.1-7362) this .lock and .pop files disappear once you try to read your mail again. Then the first time you don't get your mail, because it is still in /var/spool/queue/
After some minutes you must try again and voila the mail is in your box.

Besides this buggy upgrade, there's another issue: it is not possible to upgrade with the Cobalt interface. It says: "Bad package file".
The files on Cobalts website all have the extention: ****.pkg..pkg
You must download the file to your local computer. Rename it to ****.pkg and upload it to your box in /tmp/
