Uh, why not using tpop3d.conf for that?
max-children: 200

tpop3d is working great for me. The only thing tpop3d is lacking (well, any=

pop3d daemon I ever seen) is missing ability to virtually merge few physica=
l=20
mailboxes like:
/var/mail/user/box1, /var/mail/user/box2, /var/mail/user/box3
and show them as one big virtual mailbox via pop3.

Why I need this? I wanted to create two folders for each user: inbox and sp=
am,=20
put all spamassasin tagged mails into users spam folder, the rest into inbo=
x=20
and add imap for accessing folders separately + still serve everything via=

pop3.

Does anyone know pop3 daemon who can server few mailboxes as one, big virtu=
al=20
mailbox?
