I did try that before and thought I would try it again and no joy. See results rm '-2147483169.27980.msg' rm: invalid option -- 2 Try `rm --help' for more information.
rm \2147483647.27858.msg rm: cannot remove `2147483647.27858.msg': No such file or directory It is a little annoying, I would be a litte surprised if no one else as had this problem yet. I am using the latest versions of tmda and tmda-cgi as well, even reinstalled yesterday to see if that would help but didn't help. All suggestions are welcome.
