RE: Re[2]: [sniffer] Sniffer Updates
Title: Re: Re[2]: [sniffer] Sniffer Updates I made this one, which is probably also somewhere on the sniffer site. Change directories and keys for your use: d: cd\Batch Files\Sniffer wget http://sniffer:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Sniffer/Updates/key.snf -O key.snf.gz --timestamping --header=Accept-Encoding:gzip gzip -d -f key.snf.gz :Check fcom32 "c:\mdaemon\sniffer\key.snf" "d:\batch files\sniffer\key.snf" if errorlevel 1 goto Test goto :Done :Test snf2check.exe key.snf password if errorlevel 1 goto Done copy /y key.snf c:\mdaemon\sniffer copy /y key.snf key.old :Done Check for wrapping by your e-mail client! I've put an empty line between every line, to make sure you see what belongs together. Next to the --timestaping feature of wget, I also use fcom32.exe to see if the file is really different than the one before. This example also uses gzip!

Please don't get started on that here. The issue has been well hashed in the IMail forum ;-) As for Declude, they have always been awesome, and my conversations with Barry and Scott and the rest of the team lead me to believe that Declude will continue to be a great AV/AS product through the future on IMail (ICS), Smartermail, and many other platforms. As with any growth or change there are bound to be a few missteps here and there along the way, but I'm sure Declude will always make things right in the end with the support and guidance of the community around it. I know we will continue to support them in every way we can :-) _M This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
