After setting up a /service for qmail-pop3d as described in lwq
(plus using auth_pop instead of checkpassword):
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
jerry.bswp.de /var/qmail/bin/auth_pop /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./ 2>&1
I got the following message:
balu@balu:~> telnet jerry 110

Since it was missing some memory, I thought it might be the softlimit,
removed it and voila - it worked.
But know I am wondering what would be the "correct"/suggested value for
it.
