I had a problem with Sniffer earlier this week that turned out to be a corrupt update. There was a consistent error in the log for the time period when that botched update was in place. I've noted since then that several others have complained of similar issues with their sniffer updates, although not at the same time as mine was buggered. I assume that the situation is getting some madscientific attention because it appears there may be a little more than just random chance at work.
When that particular failure occurs there is a particular fail-safe error code returned, and I created a new SNIFFER-FAILSAFE test that looks for that code and performs some bells and whistles to warn me of the problem so I can manually update. Although the "spam storm" symptoms were a pretty good indication. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Andrews Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 1:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Help I think that your sniffer update is corrupt. Do a manual update by executing the autoSNF.cmd file from a dos prompt and get a fresh download. In addition if you are trying the new beta version with a persistent instance, you might consider going back to the original version. The problem might be either or both but occurred for me last night and this is what it took to get sniffer back up. -Butch *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 3/25/2004 at 10:23 AM John Tolmachoff \(Lists\) wrote: >DNS problem? > >John Tolmachoff >Engineer/Consultant/Owner >eServices For You > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Declude.JunkMail- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Farris >> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 9:58 AM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Help >> >> I just did a Windows NT update and now all mail is failing the >> Sniffer test...any ideas... >> >> Richard Farris >> Ethixs Online >> 1.270.247.5555 Office >> 1.800.548.3877 Tech Support >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "R.
