Kath,
thanks a lot for all your suggestions. Sure, as soon as I uninstalled the
SpamKiller everything came to normal. I tried the MailWasher (still have it
somewhere), but McAfee is more convenient with the daily automatic updates.
So, for now, I'll keep the McAfee VirusScan. It caused no trouble so far.
Again, thanks for your help.
