You are 100% correct that the problem was with a bad message still on the server. The reason the message kept coming back down to you is because you have messages saved on the server AND Emailer was unsuccessful in unpacking the message. When saving messages on the server, the message is not considered received by Emailer until it has been successfully unpacked and added to the mail database. So since it was crashing before that last step was complete, Emailer had no record of the message, so on its next connection, would download the message again as it thought it was new. By turning off the store on server, you alter the way Emailer considers a message to be received. When NOT storing messages on the server, Emailer considers the message to be read as soon as it is downloaded, regardless of if it is successfully unpacked. So by turning that off, you collected the message one last time, crashed Emailer, deleted the message by hand, and then all was well going forward from there as the message was now also gone from the server. In the future, if you want to store messages on the server AND get around a problem like this, use something like Mail Siphon to log into the server and delete the bad message there. That way Emailer won't get stuck in this loop of downloading and crashing. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
