I had a client call and tell me that attachments were not going through. Basically the 
message and
the attachment disapeared into thin air. I was able to confirm that this was the case 
over all of my
domains. Even messages with an attachment sent to myself would disapear.

After much head scratching, I turned off AVG (our 2nd virus scanner), and it appears 
that the
problem has gone away.

Here are the facts as I understand them:

* At or around the time when the problem occurred, I manually updated AVG. There were 
2 new updates.
One was new virus defs and the other was described as an update to the updater engine.

* Messages with attachments passed through Junkmail with no problems

* I found an entry like this in the logs for the messages in question:
06:10 14:47 SMTPD(003400F8) [208.151.247.226] C:\IMail\spool\Dd6e2003400f8f6e9.SMD 
22739

* In the virus logs, I got the following:
06/10/2004 14:47:40 Qd6e2003400f8f6e9 Could not find parse string identified in 
report.txt
06/10/2004 14:47:40 Qd6e2003400f8f6e9 Error 10 in virus scanner 2.
06/10/2004 14:47:40 Qd6e2003400f8f6e9 Test2.2c319.0.xls.15872.3.predef.declude.com

After this I could find no trace of the messages. I assume they were deleted.

Can anybody explain the virus log to me? Has something changed with AVG that now makes 
it unusable,
or do I have a problem with my configuration?

For anyone using AVG, I would definitely send yourself a test attachment to be sure it 
is working.
