I agree. I actually don't want to be running in inted mode but due to a long chain of events, we're not going to change it until we move to a new box (upper management decision, not mine :-) )

If you can code in C (I can't ) I wish you'd jump right in, get a CVS checkout and submit a patch -- maybe to te mailing list. Jerzy seems to be a very busy man, without too much time to work on Spop3d. I could be wrong but that's my impression at least. I wish there was more then one coder with CVS access to the repository. This is such a sleepy little project for the best Free pop3d :-)

ok, that was a mistake on my part. I think my mail app pulled a weird one on me. I looked at [what I thought was] the header and saw @cic.com but I'm not sure what the deal was because that's sure not you're address now that I look closer. 

I'm probably too tired to be reading or writing :-) . Ignore me :-)

I'm fairly that means that every 5 mins, my mail app logs in 11 - all from the same IP address. Even "worse", 4 other people here in our company are behind the same NAT I am, so we all appear to be coming from the same IP, and most of them have at least 3 accounts up there. Since they use interval checking too, I rekon we've got about 20 to 30  accounts logging in pretty constantly.
