My experience with the pop daemon is that it *never* commits suicide unless the POP3D_CHILD_MAX_CONNECTS variable is set to its default as defined in pop3.h, i.e. 1500 (which is not the same as the default value as set in the default dbmail.conf). Before I changed it to 1500 the number of open files owned by the pop daemon kept growing. Eventually resulting in a 'too many open files" error locking up the system. Now I see the occasional "committing suicide" notice and the number of open files stays at a healthy level. I'm still figuring out if the same thing goes for the imap daemon.
I'm not sure if this has been dealt with in the CVS since I'm running the RC3 version (on FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE) and haven't gotten around to looking into that.
