Look: Server says 'localhost': you are using some sort of anti-virus program which is scanning your POP3 mail before Outlook receives it. For some reason, your anti-virus is not functioning correctly. So fix your anti-virus: it is not a mailer problem and not an NTL problem.

So does that mean that SpamPal is no longer doing anything for you?

I suspect spampal uses a similar system to saproxy (which I use).

It runs on your local machine on port 110 so you point your client (outlook etc) to "localhost" port 110 rather than the NTL pop3 server. The spam software contacts the pop server, scans the mail and then forwards it to the mail client.
