The platform: Windows NT 4.00 with service pack 3
Imail popd version:
+OK X1 NT-POP3 Server abraham.integrityonline10.com (IMail 4.02 38-3)

The problem:

  There appears to be a problem with IMail's pop3 server for Windows NT. If
you connect to the pop3 port (110 for those kiddies out there) and send a
very long USER string such as: USER NNNNNNNNNNNNNN<a few thousand more>, the
pop3 daemon will jump to 99% CPU usage and stay. I am at work and I don't
have the time to investigate it more fully. The pop3 daemon will still
accept connections, however the computer is slowed down greatly. I have not
tested other daemons in Imail's package such as IMAP or SMTP.
