Hi,
I am using CentOS 5.9 with postfix+dovecot v1.0.7
I have problem in downloading emails with attachment of more than 3MB 
via my email client. (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc) I can send emails out 
with more than 3MB without any problem, whereas i can't download emails.

Following are the errors i found on maillog
*dovecot: pop3-login: SSL_write() syscall failed: Bad file descriptor**
**dovecot: impa-login: SSL_write() syscall failed: Bad file descriptor*

After this the email client stops downloading emails.

What could be the problem ? Please help me fix this . Thank You
