IMAP Spam Begone (isbg)

Reproductibility?

I'm gussing pulling out your Internet cable while it is scanning will reproduce the result.

Pulling the cable just makes isbg hang.

I guess you have to reach the maximum connections for your imap server to get the error, maybe.

That's rather extreme as bug :)
'Think we can shield isbg counter that

Well when you have mulitple users using the same inbox simultaniusly i guess this issue is a bit more likly, i just got it again :(

This time i was in a terminal that allows me to copy the output so here is a copy past instead of a manual retyping:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/socket.py", line 353, in read
data = self._sock.recv(left)
socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

it's a little disconcerning that the try: except: that i put in to workaround but #25 doesn't handle this as well.

Looks like there might be some help here:

It's all a bit hazy to me.

And maybe
