Hi, > Actually why couldn't Declude run uudecode and reassemble the file before > hand, then have it scanned and determine if it is harmful or not??
Because the time between the e-mail with first part might be one second, one day one week, etc. Declude now simply scans one e-mail, and when it's finished... it's finished. If it were to scan something like this it would need to "remember" stuff between scans. And, when would Declude decide a file sent in parts is complete? And what if a part is missing, when would Declude decide it would never get to see all parts? And what would Declude need to do with all parts before it has seen *all* parts and can finally decide whether they contain a virus or not? Multiple questions/problems which Declude would need to solve but for which is no need to solve them. The reason for sending a large file in parts is virually gone,. I can find only one reason today, either the sender or receiver is on a slow dial-up and want's to send/receive across *dial-up sessions* for whatever reason. If that's the case, maybe they should split up the file beforehand using ZIP/RAR/etc. and sent eacht part seperate.
