Ok... so now the other question.  Would you agree that we're hitting this
timeout?  This is what we get flooded with when it happens:

pop3d: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
pop3d: authentication error: Resource temporarily unavailable

What's odd is, none of our other applications complain like this.  We have a
number of applications that make database calls and they don't do this.
Some are written in C (like our friend Courier) and some are in Java.

When these errors come, they come in bunches and typically I'm able to go to
that server and still authenticate so it's not failing all of the
connections, just a fraction of them.  My take is that Authdaemond is just
being touchier than our other apps and that adjusting this timeout could
help.

Would you agree, Sam?
