[UUG/MLUG] Server Problem - Please Help

[John <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hi,

    I'm now experiencing a lot of fun due to a program I installed,
and which ran amuck.

    It seems the script malfunctioned.  It had spawned about 60
copies of itself and somehow ran the server out of file handles.

    Now, whenever I try to open any inboxes in Pine, etc. it's
saying "Folder is Read-Only", and IMAP can't delete messages (move
them to deleted folder on server), etc.  IMAP (accessed via NS Comm.
4.5) gives an error message of : "The current command did not
succeed.  The mail server responded: CHECK failed: Checkpoint file
failure: File exists"

    Any idea on how to reclaim these handles?  (I've tried shutting
the server down, and reupping; no luck)  If there's something else
that comes to mind, or the error isn't involving file handles, don't
hesitate to shout :)

            Best, John.
