This may be off topic, but it seems like a server side e-mail attachment scanning issue...
SA: 2.63 MimeDefang: 2.39 Sendmail 8.12.10 Uvscan with 4321 definitions I am not sure where to start with this, because it seems like a strange server/ pop issue, however we did not see the issue creep up until we upgraded to SA 2.63 (from 2.61 I believe). But that could just be coincidence. We have a few Outlook clients across Outlook 2000 and 2003 that basically choke and timeout when popping into the server. Basically a temp file is creating in /tmp for the pop lock and it just hangs. Either the client receives a message stating the password is incorrect (it's not, I can log in directly into the server from the users account and access mail) or it keeps delivering over an over again the same messages until it gets to the message it chokes on. I believe that a file with standard attachments (xls, doc) is the culprit. However, most e-mails and attachments work fine. If I delete the mail in the user's queue then the queue becomes accessible again until a message that it doesn't like comes in. I have deleted the tmp lock files, killed off the ipop3d processes that appear to hang, restarted sendmail and mimedefang, deleted and recreated the user accounts, restarted the server...all to no avail. I do have an e-mail that I created with a couple xls attachments and I can send it to a users mailbox and it then becomes inaccessible...it seems as though some scanning process is perhaps modifying the header in a way that makes outlook choke. I had seen this often under Outlook 97 but never under 2000 or 2003. Any Ideas? I have been researching this all morning... Thank you kindly. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
