[tpop3d-discuss] timeout problem?

[Marcin Sochacki]

Some of my users have significant problems with retrieving messages
via tpop3d. Their connection with my server is rather slow and unstable.

There is a bad habit of breaking the download in Outlook with longer messages.
Example:

Aug 23 20:31:07 debian tpop3d[9015]: connection_parsecommand: client [6]xxxxxxx@pl.yyyyyyy.com(10.0.0.1): received `RETR 6'
Aug 23 20:31:07 debian tpop3d[9015]: connection_do: client [6]xxxxxxx@pl.yyyyyyy.com(10.0.0.1): sending message 6 (680570 bytes)
Aug 23 20:31:07 debian tpop3d[9015]: connection_sendresponse: client [6]xxxxxxx@pl.yyyyyyy.com(10.0.0.1): sent `+OK Message follows:'
Aug 23 20:39:37 debian tpop3d[9015]: write_file: write: Broken pipe
Aug 23 20:39:37 debian tpop3d[9015]: connection_sendresponse: client [6]xxxxxxx@pl.yyyyyyy.com(10.0.0.1): sent `-ERR Oops'
Aug 23 20:39:37 debian tpop3d[9015]: authcontext_delete: finished session for `xxxxxxx@pl.yyyyyyy.com' with mysql

I've increased the `timeout-seconds' parameter in config file, and it seems to
help a bit, but:
1) is there any other way to make tpop3d more stable with unstable
   links,
2) what's the recommended value of `timeout-seconds' in my conditions.
