[Mimedefang] Not sure if correlation...

[Shawn Button]

Thank you...

RedHat 7.3, kernel 2.4.20-28.7
Pop3 v2001.78rh
I think it is within our imap rpm which is imap-2001a-10

What version of POP (UW? etc., release?)?

What O/S?

We have in the past seen problems with incorrect Content-Length headers on
Solaris causing POP to crash and burn about like you described... but it has
been a few years back. I also seem to recall that it was usually TNEF files or
graphics that were causing the problem.
