We are running FreeBSD 2.1 at our small ISP. Customers have occasionally
been complaining about being unable to communicate with our mail server
via POP. If I check our log files, I see messages like the following:

Apr 30 06:21:28 itchy popper[8954]: woody@dial30.mosquito.com: -ERR POP timeout


Our mail server is lightly loaded. Any suggestions on where to look for problems?
Is it possible I'm running out of ptys?
