If I check our log files, I see messages like the following: One thing to check is the *size* of the mailbox being checked. qpopper's major weak point is with large mailboxes, as every time someone checks their mail, qpopper has to scan the entire mailbox file. Leave it to the local wArEz kiddies to try and trade via email to prove this particularly weak point in qpopper, by sending each other 10-20 megabyte email messages.. -- Jason Fesler jfesler@calweb.com Admin, CalWeb Internet Services jfroot@calweb.com I like my Usenet over ice, please. http://www.gigo.com Disclaimer: My /dev/null can beat your /dev/null any day.
