Howdy,

searching the archives i had not come across anything that seem'd to match my problem 
(sorry if i missed it)

I've been using qmail with tcpserver for sometime now, and have came across a problem 
that is puzzeling me concerning users
(dialups) not being able to get past a certain number of emails when receiving. 
Instead getting a "timeout" message.

These users sometimes would have a lot of mail in the $HOME/Maildir/cur even when they 
claim they haven't been able to download it
yet.
We have ran across users who have had this problem, without having a large quantity of 
mail in cur/ or new/ as well, but not as
frequent.
Users who have a lot of mail, do not have any messages over 5k. (which is what i first 
thought)

This happens sparatically, and I have been unable to recreate the error myself. But 
co-workers claimed they too have had it happen
to them, as well as an above-average # of complaints.

rc.qmail:  /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -H 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail 
/bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir &

I have checked, and rechecked the portmasters which users connect to.
3ms ping across the network.

The area does have bad phone lines (thanks sprint), but I can't see how this would 
affect a user who is connected@46000

Would dirty phone-lines cause this much problems?
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
