Are you talking about unknown hostnames? If so, can we turn off name resolution in popper so it does not try to find it. Here is a little more information on the problem. It does not appears to happen all the time, but it seams to happen on only certain emails, even ones as small as 400k Unfortunatly, I am a public ISP and a number of my customers are publishers and marketing firms and they depend on email to send and receive large graphic files.
