Hello all... Some time ago, in July of 2006, Davide wrote the xbmf post-data filter to filter out eMail messages with the POP3 Tail Issue plus other related issues. One place you can see Davide's posting about this is: <http://xmailforum.homelinux.net/index.php?s=2579b675e310d8ffdc219b691909d79 a&showtopic=3269> http://xmailforum.homelinux.net/index.php?s=2579b675e310d8ffdc219b691909d79a &showtopic=3269. As we know this issue appeared be the lack of a proper termination sequence or "tail" on a particular POP3 email message. RFC 1939 (the POP3 protocol specification) dictates that all email messages must end with a pair of CR+LF characters. The problem started small and took only a couple months to a serious pain in the you know what.
In the above case, both Eudora and Outlook 2003 eMail clients would simply hang. Well, all of a sudden I am getting eMail messages that will kill the POP3 download in progress for both Eudora and Outlook 2003. Both of these programs failed previous and my guess is that they both use the same APIs. As far as I know Microsoft never tracked down the source of the issue in Outlook 2003. I have saved one exemplar that I believe is causing the issue. I need some to help to figure this out. Anyone knows something about MIME formatted messages? Once we figure out the cause then maybe we can update xbmf to test for this case as well. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Hal Dell Managing Partner ePodWorks.net, Inc.
