Hmm, I used to use Pegasus, but never got beyond v3.12c. I undestand 
that this problem happens with the Pegasus v4.x series under Windows, too.

Here's a link to a knowledgebase about Pegasus:

And one to the official Pegasus Mail knowledgebase:

Hmmm, why are you using the "-z 128" flag ("blindload the winsock.dll") 
in the first place? If you can send and receive email without using this 
flag, then you don't need it. It may be causing the problem.
