there are many factors that can influence that... if 'email protection' or something similar is enabled then this is absolutely normal (unless the emails cannot send)... one of the reasons why it changes the pop3 address is because some anti-virus software sends the email to their own server checks it for viruses and so forth and then sends it to its originial destination.

Hope this helps,

I have installed on my computer Vcatch. This is a great little program, which searches the inbox of Outlook express and outlook for viruses, and all incoming emails. It then gives you a message saying it has detected an email virus and where. It has saved my computer a number of times.
available from cnet or i think the page is www.vcatch.com
