Dear Simon,
I have a problem on my system, Fatal error: Pid file [/usr/local/var/run/perdition.pop3/perdition.pop3.pid] exists for process [859] which appears to be running, exiting
In the maillog I found the followings

We have tried to restart the process, but it cannot help. Until we reboot the system the service is recovered. Is there any fix on that. We are using version 1.18 and running on Red-Hat 4.4.7-4. Thanks.
