> From the man page:

NAME
      qmail-popup - read a POP username and password
SYNOPSIS
      qmail-popup hostname subprogram
DESCRIPTION
      qmail-popup  reads  a  POP  username and password from the 	 
network.  It then runs subprogram.
      qmail-popup is most commonly invoked from inetd as
         qmail-popup CHANGEME checkpassword qmail-pop3d Maildir
      with CHANGEME replaced by the fully qualified domain name of the   
local host.

- I had assumed that this was getting used for any pop requests.

I'm pretty sure it is - from what others said it looks like it is the  
initial scanning of the mailboxes - I have a few large ones too . .

This seems to have been pretty much covered by other responses . .

Thanks,

Phil.
