We have a problem w/ a few select users spiking the load on our servers w/ POP3D. The issue is that they've (intentionally or unintentionally) set their POP3 client to not delete messages on the server. This means their inbox grows to 100+ MB, which is a problem when their client checks for new email every 10 mins or so. Our solution thus far has been to call these people, and ask them to use IMAP. Is there another solution for this? Ideally, we'd like to either:
a) force messages to be deleted after they've been downloaded via POP3, or b) deny access to a mailbox via POP3 if it grows past a certain size. This would lock users out of their mailbox, which would cause them to call us and fix their settings. Are either of these two options available? We're using an old version of courier-pop (0.37.3, the version distributed w/ debian stable), so if there's a newer version of courier that optimizes POP3 mailbox reading, that would work as well. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
