Hi all -
	Just wanted to follow up on this to get some answers into the
logs.

While I thought moving from qpopper to ipop3d solved the problem it
didn't.  It worked for awhile, but then the errors started showing up
again.

I also learned that it doesn't have anything to do with file size.  It
just seems to be random email messages that cause it.

Upgrading FreeBSD to the latest STABLE (which updated the openssl/openssh
stuff along with it) fixed the problem for ipop3d, but not for qpopper.

So, at this point I'm running FreeBSD stable (as of about november 1st
2001) and ipop3d (part of mail/imap-uw) and everything is working fine.

As for the syslog'ing you need to change the reference to LOG_MAIL in the
ccclient port!!!  I changed all the references in the imap-uw port with
no luck, then changed cclient as well and now my logs are going where I
want them.
