Hi Benny: Funny - never thought to try that myself - I'll try playing around with that myself next time I see a hung process.
However, the file in the "slog" directory is substantially different from the message in the "mess" directory - the file is a log of XMail's delivery attempts for the message (good for debugging frozen and/or bounced messages). If you're looking for an actual message file in the correct spool format, you'll probably want to log in the "froz" directory instead.

I took the "process" that was running in limbo and ran it from command. All the sudden the below message kept on repeating. I had to press CTRL+C to stop it. Here is my command and the output: COMMAND ----------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/bin/perl -w /var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl /var/MailRoot/spool/14/13/slog/1059064707303.376856.localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1059064707303.376856.localhost ----------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTPUT ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl line 772, <MAILFILE> line 7. Use of uninitialized value in index at /var/MailRoot/filters/checkvirus.pl line 774, <MAILFILE> line 7. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have no clue, but if I had to press control + c to manually stop this than I can only assume that each of the processes are doing the same thing and so that is why it is so intense on the system. The thing I did change between the command listed in the process and the command you see above is that I had to pull a message from the slog directory instead of the "mess" directory, because there were no messages in the "mess" directory. ben ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Laramie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 10:09 AM Subject: [xmail] Re: av script not stopping > On Tuesday 09 December 2003 10:58, you wrote: > > Hey Ben: > > > > I'm also one of the ones experiencing problems with Peter's AV script.
