i'm answering my own question here, because i realized i'm a bonehead. i had forgotten that i had installed Matt Simerson's tcpserver patch, which adds the option of having tcpserver consult a mysql backend. The /var/qmail/control/sql file i had in place had an 1800 second timeout - 30 minutes. I upped that the three hours, and courier is honoring the change, so all's well.
for those who may wish to revisit the solution, see
http://matt.simerson.net/computing/mail/qmail/ucspi-tcp-0.88-mysql.patch
There's no documentation for the patch. just apply it, then add "-S" to your tcpserver command line (likely in /service/smtpd/run), then create a file named 'sql' in /var/qmail/control, populated as shown in the comment within the patch -
+ /* + server sql.domain.com + port 3306 + database vpopmail + table relay + user vpopmail + pass secret + time 1800 + */

howdy,
i'm running vpopmail 5.3.16 with mysql backend (mysql 3.23.54a for solaris 2.9 sparc), and courier imap 1.6.2. i've noticed that even though i have the --enable-relay-clear-minutes set to 180, my ability to relay seems to always stop after about 30 minutes when using IMAP (i don't use pop3 so havent tested that).
is the enable-relay-clear valid with the mysql backend? or am i missing something somewhere else?
