How do you have Outlook Express setup to check for emails? If POP3, it could be possible it has seen them in the past, and as such, won't download them again. If IMAP, it should show them. The incorrect date is likely to be caused by an invalid date string in the "Date" header. > Maybe, these messages are structured in such a way that OE is not > recognizing message boundaries ... perhaps as a result of the spammers > trying to get past filters. Of course, it may be just a deficiency in OE. Even if you used IMAP, or POP3, your server handles the segmentation of messages. I doubt this could be some kind of "addition" to the spammers arsonal. > I am wondering if this sort of behaviour has been noted before. As I mentioned, check the method of checking in OE. - -- Jon Angliss <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHecMOK4PoFPj9H3MRAi4HAJwIrLUbUP8zj8Mxf8yXwUlA8wvOCwCg3Vw+ ehN2gfQUGqsHYBKLwBedcrc= =I1J6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
