I have seen this my self and can easily reproduce it (if it's the pop server case) If the client is outlook (specifically 2000 as that's what I have seen the problem with) and they do not complete the download of the emails, the DELETE command is never issued. Outlook likes to delete messages at the end of the download. You may not see this if the client is configured to leave messages on the server. What did you use MD5sum against? the user's mail spool on the server (ie bypassing the MUA) or the message after it was downloaded? -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
