Hi Group, I've spent the last two days searching Google and other search engines for good links to qpopper mailing lists -now that I've found you <g> -I think it's ironic the very dilemma that sent me searching the net for a solution, is a hot thread on the new mailing list I just discovered. :-)
The James Bond crowd really has me under the weather. You know the ones, the users with 5-12 user accounts, who now have that blazing fast access connection and thinks they check all 12 user accounts in 60 second intervals -just waiting for that next message to arrive. I�ve begged, preached, offered instruction on good net etiquette and system usage, I�ve tried to convey the of shared web hosting �and how everyone shares the bus and gets to ride for a REAL small price.. But seriously, over the last year, for me personally, this has become a major problem. Take JB and multiply him/her by say 100 or so domains <frown>. Currently, current systems are all running older versions of qpopper (3.x) under initd and consume well over 50-70% of all the total CPU cycles used. The good news is, I just built a system with Qpopper 4.0.4 as stand alone, so all that's going to change a great deal here real soon (I do believe)... But there's still something about this issue that just screams "greedy".. It�s like my users who open a half dozen FTP sessions (on a 56k line) just because they think it�s makes the upload go faster.. <?> I'd thoroughly enjoy finding a way to throttle the James Bond crew from banging on qpopper with a dozen or more ID�s more than once every 5 minutes or so... (oh, to be a fly on that wall). <g> I'm very interested in hearing what others are experiencing in regards to this issue and/or any possible solutions or suggestions that can be imposed on a system to limit the freq of login POP's....
