I'm having a problem with ipop3d and pine dealing with large mail files. For example, I had a user named em111 and the /var/mail/em111 file was around 15 megs. Both ipop3d and pine blew up for this user after chewing up 200 megs of virtual memory. It really surprised me that ipop3d would even be *trying* to read the entire file into RAM. Regardless, it seems on a system with 30 megs free RAM and 200 megs of virtual that pine or pop3d should not need more memory than that. Is there a misconfiguration here?
