Vpop3d has a bug at least since 1.10r27 up to 1.13r5.

How to reproduce it:
 * zcat mailbox.gz >> /var/spool/vmail/domain/user
 * telnet localhost 110
 * login as user
--> vpop3d tells you that you've got 2 messages instead of only 1 real message   

Now what is it? How to find out:
 * edit the users mailbox file
 * lock for the following lines
      -------------------------------------
      Fom Scripting News... It's DaveNet! 
 * now insert a SPACE before the "From" and save the mailbox file
 * telnet localhost 110
 * login as user
--> vpop3d tells you that you've got 1 message!!!!!!

Thats why some times mail end up chopped into peaces e.g. one mail containing
only the headers an another one containing only the message body of the original
mail.

MFG / Regards
Friedrich
