Interesting. Are you perhaps connecting through a firewall or proxy (on a
router, etc)?

Well, qmail-pop3d, qmail-popup, checkpassword (or replacement), and tcpserver.
The only ones involved after the initial authentication are tcpserver and
qmail-pop3d. But you only see this with POP3 connections, not with SMTP
connections (i.e. injecting mail into your box over SMTP)? If so, and you
have SMTP sessions that don't reset after one minute (it would have to be a
large message), then its not your tcpserver binary.

Shouldn't be. This happens for all users, all client software, etc?
