poplimitd is a daemon process that monitors a server
maillog file for POP3 or IMAP connections. Using
configurable settings it monitors the rate of logins
based on the user account and IP address. If it finds
excessive usage, it will send a preconfigured email with
the users information to that user asking them to stop.
On servers that suffer from high POP3/IMAP load, this
can dramatically modify user behaviour and limit POP
and IMAP connections and load.
