David, I don't know about Gary, but our timing is set at 320 and this did help significantly. However, it does not totally alleviate the problems. We still have emails that come through with the Declude headers displaying at the end of the email message. We also have a few emails that come through with the Declude headers missing altogether.
The timing setting helped significantly after you and I talked and I made the change to the timing. Unfortunately, there are still problems in Declude that need to be fixed. Also, we are in DIRE NEED of a utility for scanning spam in the spam folders and identifying false positives. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Declude.JunkMail- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Barker > Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 5:00 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] opening a ticket with Declude support > > Gary, > > Are your timings in your SmarterMail (command line time out) and (command > timeout) set to 300 or have you lowered the time? > > David Barker > www.declude.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Steiner > Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 5:30 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] opening a ticket with Declude support > > What made you think I was on IMail?
