I have also no filters that would change the message file and the same situation occured, with two significant facts: - analyzing the message file that caused pop3 session to crash I have found that the message file contained regular message body (itself ending with <cr><lf>) followed by couple of #00 bytes and then some amount of unknown data. System crash would cause the message file to be cut in the middle that was not the situation - our mailserver is on UPS and had no crash for last several months
