The softlimit command limits the amount of memory the program you
specify with is allowed to have access to. It keeps a program from
accidently taking all available memory.

Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Could you explain what the softlimit command does? And why perhaps my
limit needed to be raised?

Since you don't provide much information, I can only guess!
My guess would then be that you have a
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run
file like this:
#!/bin/sh
VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail`
VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v
-u $VPOPMAILUID -g $VPOPMAILGID 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
YOURFQDN \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
2>&1
Try increase the softlimit from 2000000 to 4/6/8000000, or a value that
works.
