Using three POP accounts in OL2000. In only one of them
(Compuserve) I often see messages being sent from my EMPTY
Outbox and no trace afterwards of them in the Sent Box.
Have Norton Antivirus, Pest Patrol and Zone Alarm and none
detect suspect activity. How to find what is being sent
out, to which address and how to stop this happening?
Regards,
Radi

It must be the sender of an email that wants to get a reciept, when you have
recieved his email. That is a kind of automatic reply and they don't appear
in the outbox or sent box but Norton pops up when scanning it. You can
change the preferences so you will be asked if you want to send the
automatic reply or not.
I don't use OL2K anymore so you are on your own finding the right place to
change it.

Hi, thamks for the comment. However I doubt the
confirmation being the reason because sometimes a very
long sending takes place, too long for just an
acknowledgement! BTW, I have all the latest W2000 and OL
patches installed...
