Several people on the list have reported timeout problems
with clients like Outlook when using tcpserver and qmail's pop3.
Unlike many replies suggest, it isn't a problem with client
software. It's unlikely to be a problem with qmail's pop3
server either.
I just got a note from our tech support department that people
were intermittantly having problems downloading large
attachemnts, starting a couple days ago. They wanted to know
if it was the "new mail server".
I dismissed this off hand since I hadn't installed qmail yet,
but then I realized I had installed a tiny little bit 'o qmail
a couple days ago. I replaced our cucipop in daemon mode
with cucipop running under tcpserver.
Something is wrong with tcpserver.
