Hi,

I've made a program to connect into my POP3 email via a socket connection to process some mail. During my development my hosting company has had some unidentified problems causing extreme loads and several reboots that started the day i started development.

is this just a coincidence or could my program have done this? i know that during development my program repeatedly exited without closing the socket connection. what happens in such a case? does the socket stay open, timeout, or what?
