Thanks. Trying del %1. Will know after next update. If that doesn't work,
will try del d:\spool\tmp*.tmp. Haven't seen Imail prefix file names with
tmp, but have seen *.tmp's

JC Currently the Sniffer update notice comes to my address. I have

normal?
JC Is it the result of my forwarding action? Can I add a delete line at
JC the end of the cmd file to get rid of it?
IMail creates a .tmp file when calling a program alias and passes that file
to the program as a parameter.
I have had luck placing the following line at the end of the update
script:
del %1
Some have reported that this didn't work and that simply deleting all .tmp
files from the spool as in 'del \imail\spool\*.tmp' seems to work. I feel
like that's a bit of a sledge hammer and might delete something unintended,
but nonetheless folks have reported good results.
Another option is to remove all old .tmp files from your spool periodically
(nighly) along with orphaned messages etc using a utility like delold.
AFAIK, the update scripts presented on our site do not make use of the .tmp
file so it's safe to delete it.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
