We are getting a large number of these sorts of messages:

Sep 22 16:29:28 mag dbmail/pop3d[2063]: Maximum # of connections reached, committing suicide... Sep 22 16:29:30 mag dbmail/pop3d[2079]: Maximum # of connections reached, committing suicide... Sep 22 16:29:31 mag dbmail/pop3d[2064]: Maximum # of connections reached, committing suicide...

Ordinarily thus would be fine, but they seem to be repeated - so the processes do not seem to be dying (assuming the number in [] is the pid).

Has anybody else seen this?

Or should we hunt for causes locally?

The server is running FreeBSD 4.5, and dbmail is from (slightly old) CVS.
