dear maildrop community,
i'm using maildrop (maildir) in my company since 2002 and all works fine
until august.2005.
exactly since midnight 20/21.august.2005 maildrop shows an, in my opinion,
strange behaviour:
before he starts parsing the maidroprc he seems to 'sleep' for exactly 189
seconds. (timeout?) then he deliveres the mail without any errors.
i discovered this fact during an regulary mail log check and reproduced it
manually:
**************************************************************************

Replace time with strace and see if you can tell what maildrop is trying
to do during the pause. Anything fancy in your maildroprc?
