Perhaps they're being picked up at the workstation level - check his Junk
Mail folder? Perhaps your ISP is doing some filtering as well; I've noticed
recently that many are offering this to their customers on POP. That's their
perogative, as it's *their* server, not yours - you're simply popping to
pick up what they elect to deliver to you. With a global pop box, and no
filtering, spam control, or A/V, the POP3 connector collects what is in the
pop box you point it to.
Not an ideal situation, as you do have your own mail server (Exchange),
should you decide to use it. Then, you're in complete control. Somehow, I
get the impression that this customer may not see the benefit, though ;-).
If you think the connector is collecting more mail than it's delivering,
you're going to have to investigate and substantiate that. Check the number
of messages in the pop box, collect it, see how many are collected and
delivered. You can crank up logging on the POP3 connector.
I'm not going to be a good resource here - I don't use POP3 connector
presently, and the only time I've used it is for a very brief transition
period to move a new SBS customer to SMTP.
