The aim here is to _STOP_ K9 checking very large messages as the foul-up apparently occurs when K9 is trying to scan a very large message and the download process times out before the message is fully downloaded. What you need to do is to set a limit large enough so that all your "normal" sized mail (including Spam) is checked, but very large messages, like the one you are having problems with) go straight through without checking. My K9 checks everything up to 200 KB but allows larger messages through without checking. So far I haven't had any Spam over the 200 KB limit and the few very large messages that I get are received without problems. > I then switched back to TB and tried to fetch it.

I certainly wouldn't dump K9 because of it though - the correct use of the exclude setting works fine. I am currently running at 99.82% accuracy, no messages falsely tagged as Spam, and the rare Spam that slips through is usually written in such a way as to look non-spammy. Tell K9 once that it got it wrong and it is very rare for it to repeat the mistake. -- Regards, Bob Using The Bat! v3.62.09 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
