Default IE problem with server address

Hi there , wonder if someone can give a clue on how to cure my problem.

I use BT as my ISP and use Outlook express to get my mail, I am finding that
in the properties of my mail account that the address for the incoming mail
server (mail.btinternet.com) is being changed to a numeric address which I
think is in my router , it can be fine for days and then changes.

any idea's would be appreciated

(127.0.0.1)?
That problem is mostly caused by 3rd party mail add-on programs, mainly
Anti-Virus scanning, or Anti-Spam programs.
Best place to start would be to disable the AV mail scan for incoming and
outgoing mail,
It is an additional layer and it serves no useful purpose at all, so long as
you keep your definitions updated.
