I have the same problem with the Netscape mail client. And I was going
to ask this list about it.
When I look at the user's mailbox on the server, there is usually a spam
message in his directory that appears to be malformed. Instead of the
header info being on separate lines, it often appears as a paragraph, as
it were. Then the body of the message continues after that, usually with
some odd characters before and within it, especially a small solid black
square. It's usually the square that tells me I've found the bad message.
Once I delete that message from the server, the user can download his
mail again.
I have found no easy way around this. All I can do it add the email to
my blacklists so it gets trashed if it comes through again.
I think the reason the occurrences are increasing is that the amount of
spam in general is increasing.

HI all: I occasionaly get a message stuck in my Inbox that Eudora email will
not download. Unfortunatly Eudora will hang at the bad message and not
receive any other messages from the IN box. Outlook has done this also.
I check the message that is hung, and of course it is always spam related.
This time all that was in the message was a single 4 letter word, and a
period in the text body.
These occurances are starting to increase. Any advice would be appreciated.
