I posted this problem yesterday. Same problem, but using tcpserver instead of inetd.
(guessing we can possibly rule out either of these 2 being the cause?)
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H -l 0 0 110 \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail \
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir &
the message number in which they get stuck on is random.
both email programs are affected.
dialup users (connected @26000 - 44000+)
bad phone lines in the area
Only thing noticed is that all their messages would be in cur/, yet they didn't
download them yet.
good pings across the ethernet interfaces.
load on the mail server is 1.39, 0.66, 0.59
not bad.
So im lost as well :c(

Subject: pop3d maildir problems...
: Hi all,
:
: It's a fairly straight forward problem (I think I have written the list
: about it before, and I believe someone posted last night that is having a
: similar / same problem)
:
: Client connects to pop
: They start to download
: they get a few messages (somewhere between 1 and 5)
: It will just hang popping out at this point. it will time out and claim the
: pop3 server is not responding.
:
: This is happening with people with both outlook express and Netscape mail.
: Some have virus scanners some don't. The problem started appearing about 2
: to 2.5 weeks ago. Not everyone runs into this issue - but we have been
: getting more and more complaints.
:
: qmail-popup is being started from xinetd.
:
: Any suggestions / help would be appreciated.
