Non cvs-version of tpop3d had very low limit by default if I remember 
correctly.

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 physical 
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 spam, 
put all spamassasin tagged mails into users spam folder, the rest into inbox 
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 virtual 
mailbox?
