Receiving multiple split copies of emails

Hello,

    Unless you have good reason to keep it set on, I would disable the AVG optional POP3 processing. Then make sure that the POP3 definition you are using in Pegasus Mail is pointing to your upstream POP3 service and the port is set to 110 (POP3), not AVG at 127.0.0.1 address.

In my opinion AVG is not providing anything useful as attachments to emails can be scanned by Pegasus Mail when a message is opened or saved, by Virscan extension. Alternatively the realtime AVG scanner will look at the attachment when it is opened or extracted from the message.

Recently I've been receiving multiple (up to about 45) copies of emails which
are digests from some Google or Yahoo groups. In nearly, or possibly, all,
cases they have been truncated. They are absolutely identical except for those
parts of the header that have been appended by AVG or Pegasus e.g
X-Antivirus: AVG for E-mail 10.0.1153 [424/3244]
X-AVG-ID: ID6316C4D5-2E5E60FA
X-PMFLAGS: 34099200 0 1 P69YP7GH.CNM

The datestamps of the .CNMs are close to 5 minutes apart which is the same as
the polling interval (300 secs) for checking for new POP3 mail. Pmail is set to
delete retrived emails on the server.

When this behaviour started I noticed messages in my spam folder listed as
From:Unknown, Subject:(None). I've now disabled Spamhalter so that these
messages remain as CNMs. For most of the duplicated messages there is a
corresponding (None) message and the CNM timestamps match within 1 second.
These files have no valid header apart from an X-PMFLAGS inserted (but nothing
by AVG) at what was presumably the first blank line of the text. The (None)
message, ignoring the X-PMFLAGS entry, appears to complete the truncated
message.

I don't know if this problem is down to Pmail, my email server
(mail.gofast.co.uk), the anti-virus or the originators of the digests. Google
Groups Known Issues do not mention any similar problem.

Any suggestions?

Pmail v4.41.  Win XP SP3.  AVG free 10.0.1153

Turn off AVG's scanning of CNM-files in your mailbox directory.
