I just discovered that the IMAIL disk was fairly full. If the disk fills up would it cause Blank messages? Your comment regarding the D*.SMD files makes me think perhaps if these files could not have been created due to disk space being low...it may be the culprit.

NO, we dont have mailserver antivirus 2 YES, There is a desktop scanner on that machine... 3. BUT the directory that IMAIL is in is excluded from the A/V scans. (I just double checked that) 4. The AV software Does not show having caught any viruses lately I thought (correct me if I am wrong) that the exclusion mentioned in #3 would prevent problems as you described. Any other thoughts? -Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

Desktop scanners are a bad idea -- some will catch no viruses in mail, most will catch some viruses, but few (if any) will catch all. When they do catch the viruses, they may simply delete the D*.SMD file, causing the behavior you experienced. If they catch the E-mail in an .mbx file, though, *poof* all your mail will disappear. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
