Summary: check_email_loop.pl v.1.1

Initial Comment:
Updated check_email_loop.pl from contrib-directory, 
originally 10/19/2000 by Benjamin Schmid 
blueshift at gmx.net

- fixed some unquoted strings
- fixed/added pendwarn/lostwarn parameters
- added deleting of orphaned check-emails on POP3-box
- changed to use "top" in POP3 instead of get (RETR) to 
minimize traffic
- added parameter maxmsg which causes a WARNING 
state when more msg than maxmsg are on the POP3-
box

I do these checks over WAN-links and had problems 
with high traffic when there were many mails in the 
POP3-mailbox. As there're always some orphaned 
Email-pings, I delete these now from within 
check_email_loop.pl, also it now uses TOP instead of 
downloading the whole email with RETR to save 
bandwidth
