[pmmail-list] firewalls

[Mike Kilroy]

On similar topic....  Has anyone noticed Pmmail 2.20.2200 timing out
and taking long time to fetch mail sent thru Norton Antivirus?  I
think it is similar issue?  (You set pop account to 127.0.0.1 and
tell it real pop account after username with
username/kilroywashere.com type thing).  I went from 2.10 to
2.20.2200 a few days ago and ever since I cannot get long emails
(>500MB) and it gets stuck often unless I use remote control.  It
also occassionally slows win98 machine down to a crawl until I
ctl-alt-del out of it.  I just tonight went back to direct pop access
and it is back to speedy gonzalas for me.

another tidbit:  there is no slowdown perceptable in any other
internet programs.

Sound familiar anyone?  Same problem as below?  Any ideas on fixes
other than going back a version?  (or starting to use my OS/2 pmmail
on my main server box behind me?:)
