I am having a problem where a piece of spam will sort of jam my POP mail. By that I mean... my mail client will download my messages until it hits a certain message and then it will stop (no error message). Then every time after that when it checks mail, it will download that certain message again and stop. So, I start getting 5,6,7,etc copies of that message but none of the messages after it get downloaded.
The message it dies on is always a spam message, attached is the one currently causing my mailbox to freak out.
I can go into the mysql database where my mail is stored, delete this message and then check my mail and all of the messages are properly downloaded.
This has started happening to me on a regular basis, once a day or once every two days.
This is what the pop3 log says during the transaction:
