Kind'o fills the HDD > fairly fast if there are a few users on the system. sounds like a bug in popper that you are running... I had the same problem... so I decided to switch to a different flavor of a pop-mail server... right now I think I still have my port that I did of it for 2.0R... but I don't use pop-mail any more... right now I read all my mail via imapd from my ISP... if you would like me port of the other version I would be glad to send it to you...
