Sometimes a customer calls support saying he can't get his mail from the =
pop3-server.

Often it's just because the progress-meter doesn't move very quickly =
when his mailbox contains an 8MB-attachment containing a funny avi a =
'friend' has sent him.

We're using qpopper, but wouldn't mind changing if something else could =
provide this.

Could this be implemented, and has somebody done it?

pid=3D`ps axuw|grep popper|grep $username|grep -v grep`
kill -USR1 $pid
sleep 5
cat /tmp/popstat.$pid

 The pop3-server should dump some stats in a file,
eg number of files sent and total
number of bytes sent and total
perhaps even transfer speed and eta.

This could be accessed from a cgi

Good idea, right? :-)
