The 'stats' line is written at the end of the session. If you want
to log th start of a session, use '--enable-log-login', which causes
Qpopper to write a log entry when a user authenticates.

Timeout means no input was received from the client within the
timeout period, while hangup means the connection closed without the
client sending QUIT, which could mean the user cancelled the
download, or the connection was dropped, or the client machine
crashed, or there was a network problem somewhere, or....
