This occurs for the user when sending messages to the same domain (same server), and to outside (Earthlink) e-mail servers.

I seem to recall a similar issue back when we were running a particular 
version of ClamAV that was soon patched to fix this.

Can you verify that you're running the latest ClamAV (or not running it 
at all, as the case may be!)?
