Yeah, I always encourage people to use mapped drives or FTP for file transfers. They just have a habit of using email because it's more transparent (to them). But that isn't the issue in this case... the server's being used to send out announcements to a client's mailing list.

We were getting the same issue...the key were was were. Some of our programmers in their infinite wisdom were sending mass mailings (file data and reports via email) and it was killing Imail AV. Why not send file data via FTP? At times it was almost like a DOS and next thing you know the queue would have 5000 emails for AV scan and delivery. Imail AV gets overwhelmed. Our solution? Switched to Declude AV with McAfee Enterprise 7.01. It never misses a beat now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher J.
