I still get similar problems and I don't use ZoneAlarm ... Believe it
is Norton AV causing my problem.  Only solution is to get to server
and delete the obvious spam, which has always avoided my problem. 
Problem is much reduced since I started using ATTGLOBAL.NET's spam
quarantine, but still occurs on some spam that gets by that server
filter.

I believe the real solution is to fix Norton ... or execute spammers.
