I've tried to increase the numbre of sessions and max session per ip, 
but the problem persists. We've realised that is just with 1 domain 
(with 10 mail accounts) working behind the iptables firewall. We have 
some customers with the same number of accounts and working behind a 
router and they work correctly. Can I force the pop3 server to close the 
connections that remains as slept processes? Thanks in advance
