cron job errors, probably due to some delay

[omarfilip]

Every now and then (8 times on 2/1) I get a report from the cron job that executes a get new mail script such as:

<span class="code">[Mail2Forum] [m2f_mailinglist.php, line 1326, dist 20, 42.22s]
Error connecting to POP3 server mail.glastarnet.org:110

or

<span class="code">[Mail2Forum] [m2f_handler.php, line 1074, dist 14, 34.67s]
DB error. sql: 'SELECT * FROM m2f_distributionlist
WHERE distributionlist_id = '14'' error: DB Error: no database selected

or

<span class="code">[Mail2Forum] [m2f_handler.php, line 1074, dist 28, 33.18s]
DB error. sql: 'SELECT * FROM m2f_distributionlist
WHERE distributionlist_id = '28'' error: DB Error: no database selected

I notice that all of these separate instances have a fairly long delay.

Any idea what's going on regarding the delay?

How big is that table? (m2f_distributionlist) The first error just looks like a mailbox timeout but is too generic to debug, have you tried using a different pop3 account?

Is the forum working as it should be? The other two erros look like the coudl be s wrong setting?

There are 33 distribution lists, and currently each has up to 23 users max. (without looking upa actual subscriptions).

Each distribution list has one pop3 account to itself.

The forum seems to be working properly - all distribution lists receive mail and send mail. Sometimes there is some slugishness which is a little worrisome as the forum is not "live" yet.
