Anyone using Networked PowerMail Folder?

2007-10-10 Thread Justin Beek
Ever since we upgraded from 5.1 last month, we have been getting a  
LOT of corrupted attachments.


We do have the PowerMail folder  App on the server so it gets backed  
up nightly. I am guessing that the networking of the folder must be  
the issue since no one else is having this problem.


Is there anyone running PowerMail off a server install that could  
help me figure out why our attachments are being corrupted?
Especially any users that are capable of opening EPS files that I  
could send some files to see if your install duplicates the corruption.


FYI: Webmail  (local) Apple Mail work fine. Have already email CTM  
Support. Will try testing other networked email apps soon.


Thanks,
Justin Beek

Long time ago, like PM was still v3 and v4, I had PM folder on my Linux
server, and was experiencing the corruption, not only attachment but db
itself so I had to ditch the idea.  I was surprised you had been OK till v5.1.

It was 1-2 per week before the upgrade. Now it is 1-2 per day.

We have had a couple of DB issues but that happened about only twice  
in 3 years.


Thanks

Somebody mentioned EPS files awhile ago, and I was stricken with
curiosity why a particular filetype would be subject to more corruption
than others.

These things don't have resource forks, do they?

We have found no version of PowerMail able to cope with the momentary
glitches that our network evinces from time to time.  We have tried
several releases and the network has destroyed the database with every 
one.
