well to start, if it is not a large number of users, you could go to each mail box from the server and delete the 5meg file, which it sounds like is over some limit that either the server has set or the client has set, anyway, delete that message, then se if the users can access their mailboxes, try with a couple users first, to see if they can then get mail, and if it works for them, go thru and delete the msg from every box, or if you have a high number of users you could get the subject line of the message and create a quick rule that removes that message tehn copy the rule to each user directory on the mail server and let it get rid of the msg for you, not sure if that works after the message is already in the box though.

I've only been running Imail 7.03 on W2K for about six weeks, but it's been incident free until now. My daily sys log (sys1018.txt today) has been growing out of control. Usually, each daily file is 2 or 3 MB, but today I caught it growing like crazy at over 190MB. Most of the entries look like the following: 10:18 16:11 POP3D (%1!08X!) %2!s! %3!s! %4!u 10:18 16:11 POP3D (%1!08X!) %2!s! %3!s! %4!u 10:18 16:11 POP3D (%1!08X!) %2!s! %3!s! %4!u 10:18 16:11 POP3D (%1!08X!) %2!s! %3!s! %4!u 10:18 16:11 POP3D (000003C4) send error 148.235.173.65 10053 10:18 16:11 POP3D (000003C4) send error 148.235.173.65 10053 10:18 16:11 POP3D (000003C4) send error 148.235.173.65 10053 10:18 16:11 POP3D (000003C4) send error 148.235.173.65 10053 I deleted the file, but it just started growing again. For now, I shut down all logging. Could this be related to the fact that somebody in the company e-mailed a 5mb file to 80 internal users, but these users are unable to retrieve their mail via POP? >From what I can see using the IMail client, the message is sitting in their inboxes, but nobody can get it via there POP mail client. They get an ambiguous message about "some messages could not be downloaded..." This is causing a big problem as nobody can retrieve their mail.
