My linux box (Slack 9.1, kernel 2.4.26) has this error message on popa3d.
Is there a limitation on how big the mailbox can be loaded?
The archive mailbox was about 300MB+ (only 2 days worth of emails)

Jul 30 16:31:21 linuxbox popa3d[29490]: Failed or refused to load
/var/spool/mail/archive

Currently using popa3d version 0.6.2 (2003/03/10)

Any feeedback or suggestion to fix this will be greatly appreciated.

popa3d-0.6.4.tar.gz/popa3d-0.6.4/params.h

/*

*/
#define MAX_MAILBOX_MESSAGES 200000
#define MAX_MAILBOX_OPEN_BYTES 200000000
#define MAX_MAILBOX_WORK_BYTES 250000000

you could either adjust values here and recompile, or use another pop3
server (from imap package)

Thanks. I will probably change the value and recompile.
