Thanks for the insight. You're also sharing a maxed out T1 so I'm not sure how to interpret that data - I suppose that 10K isn't awful if 10 other systems are hitting it at once. I have to stop my testing now. I've got Sprint queued up to do some intrusive testing so I have to bring the line

Have you considered isolating this by type of mail server? We run MDaemon and no error_bad_matrix in our log files over the past week. We use wget on Win2000 server over a Verizon network. Just a thought. Paul Roulier -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's starting to come together now. Wget on windows + errors on the Sprint line since the move = corrupted downloads for folks who end up routing through sprint along the way? Could be. We use Windows 2k, Wget and have our connection at our end from Sprint... Sheldon Sheldon Koehler,

This seems like a rulebase thing. We spoke on the phone. If the problem isn't solved by getting a fresh rulebase then we should go hunting for a rule. Send a note to yourself with sniffer on, then grab the sniffer log entries for the captured message and send them to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll
