[IMail Forum] 2 GB mbx-file and 80 MB tmp-file

[Nika Gerson Lohman]

Hi all,   Last friday something very strange happened. A 2 GB mbx-file " Junk E-mail.mbx " appeared in one of the users' folders on the mailserver. The file didn't contain anything other than a 3 MB e-mail according to the Imail Client. This caused our server to crash because disc-space ran out, so I would like to investigate what happened here.   Anyone any thoughts?   Another strange file that occurred that day was the file " PAB196904.tmp ", 80 MB large. Anyone know what that is?   I have the spool folder, tmp-file and mbx-file available in very small zips (somehow they compress very well! The 2 GB file compresses to 947 KB and the 80 MB file compresses to 211 KB).   Regards,   Nika.   _______________________________________ Nika Gerson Lohman Senior Software Engineer   Tele'Train Software BV, http://www.teletrain.nl Willemsparkweg 191 1071 HA  Amsterdam   Telefoon:                       +31 (0)20 379 03 52 Fax:                              +31 (0)20 379 03 53 Private Fax:                   +31 (0)84 222 49 06 Mobiel:                          +31 (0)62 040 13 50 E-Mail:                          [EMAIL PROTECTED]   MSN Messenger:           [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL (AIM):                    nikagl YAHOO:                       nikagl ICQ:                              69298411 Skype:                          nikagl
