Hello Curt, Interesting what you report. Is it your thought that 1 (or several bogus headers) would cause uw-imap to download _all_ the messages saved on the server? I ask because the behavior I saw last Tuesday was a repeated download of the 8000+ messages in the mail server's mailbox. In any case I'll modify /etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/header_checks as you suggest and we shall see what happens.
