This is my main bugbear with qpopper - *the* best pop daemon aside from this
one issue.
Totally fed up with customers ringing saying:
"have you got a problem with you're server <pause><sigh> only I can't get my
mail"...
a look in the logs shows they have a pop lock. what a surprise...
Could this be a feature request?, failing that, has anyone got a patch?

usually when you try to write() or read() from a broken connection though,
it'll generate an EPIPE, which you can check for, and close the
connection if present..i looked through pop_send.c briefly but did not see
this check for the fwrite() in pop_write_now()..i see the logging of an
error, but no action for it..if i am, in fact, looking in the right place.
