RE: POP3 delivers Multiple messages only from outside emails



Thank you Jenny for your response. I will call the isp today to see what is
going on. The weird thing is that the old server that I just took out did
not have this problem, and it is sbs 2000. When looking into the options
there are only so many options to change which I see none different the the
2003 pop3 settings. I guess it is possible that maybe the isp change
something.
