DENIAL OF SERVICE ALERT—The Mcafee Problem This Mac-based v13 database sends zipped Excel and PDF reports via email… yesterday, the Excel reports (1.3 MB Zipped) started to fail. The email is sent to the Windows user as expected but the attachment is replaced with a text file (1_Warning.txt), with the following message:
=========================================== DENIAL OF SERVICE ALERT A denial of service protection limit was exceeded. The file has been removed. Context: ’order summary - march report.zip\order summary - march report.xls' Reason: The data size limit was exceeded Limit: 20 MB Ticket Number : 0XXX-5ac5-3a6a-0001 (Ticket number altered) For further information, contact your system administrator. Copyright 1999-2014 McAfee, Inc. All Rights Reserved. http://www.mcafee.com =========================================== What do you think is going on here? -The file size of the excel file is very small, about 2MB uncompressed. -The Copyright dates are unexpectedly old, the professional client-side IT team is using the latest McAfee software and don’t know where these old dates are coming from. -When all filtering and all virus protection is turned off on the client PC, the problem remains. -When the report is sent to a gmail account the report is received correctly. I think this proves this is not a 4D issue. I appreciate your thoughts.
