Re[2]: PC-cillin and TB!

You might want to try a server based spam/virus filter. At our company we use 
Sentinare PostGuard www.sentinare.com so that spam/viruses are trapped on the server 
level, so that they don't waste time/resources downloading and scanning garbage emails.

They have a easy web-based quarantine interface in case you need to rescue a message, 
but it's rare that you have to. They use SpamAssassian and some other filters to get 
really good accuracy, my account at work is 99.6% accurate.

I have a Trend Micro Office Suite mandatory at work, including the laptop 
which runs The Bat (1.x) for my private mail. I receive a lot of spam, and 
some of it is virus-infected. The problem is, that when the Bat stores 
this virus attachment on disk, the OfficeScan pops up saying it's a virus. 
For some reason TheBat cannot continue operation (I guess because 
OfficeScan takes over the file for quarantine or smth), and the message is 
not deleted on the server. This means that every 5 minutes (my polling 
period) I get this message and have to delete the e-mail manually on the 
server.

Plus, all our admins receive a virus warning.

Hence, I have been asked to remove The Bat.

Just my experience - those problems may be obsolete by now.

Leo.

Message attachments incomplete or missing bytes??

[Jason Grunstra]

Hello, I'm new to the group. I've been using The Bat! 3.0 for a few months and have 
been experiencing problems with file attachments on incoming emails. In the Message 
List area, the Size column displays the correct number of bytes. But in the preview 
pane the size of the attachment is much smaller, if I try to save/open the attachment 
it the file saved to disk matches the smaller file size and is not the complete file, 
so the file will not open.

If I login to the webmail interface for my email I can download the file in it's 
entirety. So it does not appear to be a server issue. I am using IMAP as a protocol. 
Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've experienced this with Word.Doc, Adobe.Pdf, Excel.xls files to name a few.

Thanks.

-Jason
