If you are running a AV system that requires more memory based on the size of the message, then I'd strongly suggest you get a new AV system. [unless you are running your softlimits too close to the mimimun required: I've always said find out how much memory you can run Q-S under, then add a few extra meg (maybe 5M more?) just to cover the extra large messages] No properly written AV system should (say) need 5M more RAM for a 5M larger message - it's not like they read the whole thing into memory or anything! They should all have a "window" of the message they scan through - so memory usage remains constant after a certain size is reached. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
