popminpoll problem

[Kirsch, Mathew (Matt)]

I suspect that popminpoll doesn't do what you think it does. See, the
computer can't possibly know that the person logging in is your problem user
until he's logged in, and then the damage is already done.

Subject: popminpoll problem



I have a user who seems insistent on setting their pop3s poll time to 1
minute, and they have two accounts, so that's 2880 logins per day over
pop3s, for just *one* user. Annoying, and clearly not doing any favours
for memory usage.

So, I think, "popminpoll", that's the answer. A setting of 5 (mins) should
be ok I figure. So I set popminpoll to 5 and restart everything.

Except, it doesn't seem to work. I can still see my problem user logging
in twice every minute. Any ideas why? does popminpoll work only for pop3
and not pop3s?

             tls_sessions.db = db3-nosync

Also, I get another problem, with every login for my users, I get the
following line in logs :

Jan 24 17:21:45 hostname pop3d[16320]: no user in db

Yet I know the user exists in the db, and they're getting their mail ok,
but I constantly see this message. Anyone else seen this?
