My POP3 Proxy also stops working after a while. When I try to connect to my POP3-Server with telnet I receive an empty screen. The POP3 Clients get a timeout error. After restarting the POP3 Proxy it works again for a while, perhaps a hour.
are there any entries in the pop3 log? do you get the initial greeting when connecting trough the proxy?
p.s. you should NEVER connect directly to the proxy. the connect needs to be routed through the firewall and the destination should be the pop3 server you would like to use. the firewall will then do a DNAT.

looks like this is caused by a client who is connecting directly to the firewall ip thus causing a proxy loop (proxy tries to proxy itself). these connections will be blocked by a special rule in the packetfilter in the next beta release.
