Re: HELP ! qmail-pop3d not timing out.

[D. J. Bernstein]

Clients are allowed to take any amount of time as long as they aren't
idle. The qmail-pop3d timeout is for each packet of data.

Evidently qmail-pop3d is waiting for buffer space to write data. If you
wait long enough you will see either a timeout or a successful write.
