Hi and thank for your attention,I think that there are two problems:
- the first is in the mailbox size
- the second is that the timeout -T600 is is a value too much high
..now I have configured the qouta disk at 100MB and now I use the default
timeout value, today I haven't problems.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a critical problem with qpopper 4.0.9, when qpopper
service is running on mail server the queue increase and I have more
200 mails in spool !! I think that qpopper daemon use a too much
system resource (memory and CPU), if qpopper daemon is stopped in a
few minutes the queue is empty.
When qpopper daemon is running I have:

..how can I solve the problem ??
Thanks in advance.
What does the qpopper log show for those messages and that user?
I think the problem is caused because some user is choosing the option of
leaving the mail on the server and their mailbox has become very large.
This causes problem at close down when:
1. The mailbox is copied to the temporary .pop file.
2. The .pop file is copied back to the user mailbox
while eliminating any deleted messages.
All the file copying IO can be crippling specially if the temporary files
are not on a different disk spindle as the mailboxes.
Take a look at the size of you user's mailboxes when this problem is
occurring.
