Hi all,

referring to this rather old thread, I hope to get an answer ;-)

>>Must I set up a cron job (which ??) to check lock files and correct them ?

RG> No, this is not required.

>>Is there any kind of automatism build in in popper to correct this ?

RG> Yes.  Qpopper cleans up when it exits, and Qpopper reclaims locks 
RG> after a timeout.

So here my question:
what exactly is the timeout value after which qpopper cleans up the
.<user>.pop zombies and where can I change it?

Besides, changing some smaller value, can this have some negative
effect on longer POP-sessions?

Thanks in advance,
Kai
