I had this problem wrote to the list, but could not find solution.

Then I tried again and wrote a little script into maildroprc, which filters
these messages:

(I'm not too good at this scripting and just tried, this is why the lame
if-else appears)

if(/^Subject:/)
{
}
else
{
    if(/^From:/)
    {
    }
    else
    {
        to "/mail/spam/spams"
    }
}

----end
Change to .... Line to whatever you want, this works for me.

Right, so it's not "just us" getting these messages.

I have one example that appears to be a download attempt from Mozilla so it
may have this problem too. I just tried with KDE's Kmail and it does not
have a problem downloading these messages via POP, or IMAP. Thunderbird 0.9
(linux) also does not have a problem with these messages.

I can only presume so but they do have a consistant...
