There are definitely some mail messages with malformed headers which will hose the POP connection to many common mail clients. I believe I've mainly seen it with nested multipart MIME emails where the nesting was faulty, but also the occasional weirdly formatted spam. As far as I can tell it's not qpopper's fault, but the mail client - but it's been really hard to tell, and it *could* be qpopper losing track of the message boundaries. We clean up maybe one or two of these per month, per around 10000 user mailboxes. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWJD?
