I went ahead and began investigating. I set tracelevel = 5 for
everything. I'm including the /var/log/maillog entries from my test, which
was: I connected Eudora and it ran a query and got no new
mail. Afterwards, a dbmail-pop3d process was eating 99% of the cpu.
Here's the dump from /var/log/maillog:

Jan 31 18:22:55 cap dbmail/pop3d[9997]: pop3(): command looked up as
commandtype0
So it looks to my untrained eye like dbmail-pop3d is getting the QUIT
command just fine. But no clue to why it's not happy in the hangup yet.
I hope this is useful! Please let me know if I'm barking up the wrong tree!
Thanks,
Kenn
