Peter: I know this is probably not the problem... but you might want to be extra sure that this is not really a case of the SAME small group of messages downloading over and over again.
I've seen that happen before where Outlook or Outlook Express, when downloading 20 messages off of the server (for example), will then choke on message #15 (for example). In such a case, each time the person retrieves their e-mail, they'll get the **same** 1st 14 messages (or however many) over and over and over again... when, in reality, these messages were not sent to the server over and over again. The client is simply downloading duplicate copies over and over again. (Most often, good filters will block any such message that would choke outlook, but you never know!) I recommend making sure that this isn't the actual problem (if you haven't already) --Rob McEwen -----Original Message----- From: Kristopher Austin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 2:01 PM To: Peter Marshall; SpamAssassin list Subject: RE: User getting spammed to death Are the messages coming from the same sending server? If so, I'd blacklist it at your MTA until the storm is over.
