I hope you don't mind me shooting in the dark here...

Remember this thread:

Do you think it could be relevant?

What does the output of "netstat -anp" look like when this is happening?  How about
"lsof -ni TCP:pop3"?

We had a problem with our main mail server a few days ago with SMTP.  Clients would
connect but never get a banner.  Turns out that we had a lot of TCP connections
stuck in SYN_RECV, which was again caused by the network device mentioned in the
above thread.  Do you see anything like that in your netstat output?
