We have seen problems on older versions of Solaris where a spammer forges
the Content-Length: header and this causes 2 mail messages to get intermingled
when they are retrieved by some MUAs(mail, mailx, pine) and some POP versions. 
Don't recall having seen it on Solaris 8 and I know we haven't seen it on 
Solaris 9.

Don't know if this could be related.
