With reference to the shown interval of time («Cleared 3 days 05:57:20 ago») these counters show the number of:

`CALL-SUCC`	Successful incoming/outgoing TCP connections.
`CALL-FAIL`	Unsuccessful incoming/outgoing TCP connections.
`CHAR`	The total number of chars received/sent by this POP3 session.
`PCK`	Incoming/Outgoing packets.
`MAIL-SUCC`	Successfully downloaded mails.
`MAIL-FAIL`	Mails not downloaded because of a failure.
`AVG-SIZE`	Average mails dimension.
`DENIED-IP`	POP3 requests received from the clients but not processed because requester (the author of this POP3 request) is not allowed. The not-allowed requester is a client whose IP address is not present in `IPSRC` and `IPSRCLIST` parameters configuration.
`BANNED-IP`	Requests that was discarded because the source IP was banned by IPBAN service.
