The purpose of WINSOCKCLEANUPON is to reset the winsock, what happens when using this setting is that when the \proc directory hit 0 decludeproc will finish processing all the messages in the \work before checking the \proc again. As WINSOCKCLEANUP is to be used only by those who

Hi, all- I don't normally pass stuff like this along, but I found this to be an interesting and potentially dangerous feature of which I was completely unaware. Create a shortcut to Google on your desktop. Name it g (no quotes). Open IE and enter g in the address field (no http://, just g))

I found that WINSOCKCLEANUP ON would force a reset if the \proc directory never hits 0. In this case, files build up in the \review subfolder which require manual processing. - Original Message - From: David Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Tuesday,

Mike, 1. The WINSOCKCLEANUPON activates when the \Proc reaches 0 2. If Decludeproc stops unexpectedly files it is busy with are move to the \review 3. You can use AUTOREVIEW ON to have these move back to the \proc 4. Be aware though if there is a real problem message you may find

Thanks, Nick. It's a defensivemechanism I've used for years: keep the documentation with the settings. I often do the same with registry keys by adding a text string and blathering away. Adding dates and initials is also a good idea. Andrew 8) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

David, is there a proactive way to detect if an installation would benefit from the WINSOCKCLEANUP ON directive in declude.cfg? I would rather be able to detect this while it's happening than to react when I find that spam is leaking or that the proc folder is continually growing. Andrew.

I have an idea. Maybe this should be triggered automatically if every DNS lookup times out on a single message. That way we wouldn't have to set it, and it would only be called when conditions warrant. Matt Colbeck, Andrew wrote: David, is there a proactive way to detect if an
