we are on Linux RH 7.3, xinetd of course.
The /etc/xinetd.d/popper contains
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
# server = /etc/popper
server = /usr/local/sbin/popper
server_args = -s
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
#disable = yes
}The version of qpopper is the last one.
I only verified that a pid was corresponding to a line of the maillog file where it appeared the same number of popper process together with an error:
-ERR Too few arguments for the pass command
But I could not verify it for the other cases (maillog too large), perhaps I had better given you a more significant statistics.
Ciao and thank you. Yours Ezio.

What version? What OS? What creates them? xinetd? What state are they in? Do they have any files/sockets open?
