Re: Bounce Processing / Undeliverable Notification

Well it turns out they wanted to know about the body for something else other than the bounce processing. The oMessage.Body was working, just not on the emails they were sending. So I just added the original email as an attachment and it works great. I will definitely take a closer look at your post...

Re: Easy \ latest install instructions for ClamWin?

I see this is kind of an old thread, but I've been fighting with this as well. I don't have a good solution, but it seems that clamd is taking too long to load all of the stuff in the data folder. I removed all of the sig files that ClamSup had in there, and then the service fired right up. Clamd wo...

Re: "forwarded" indicator doesn't stick

OK I don't feel quite so confused anymore. Yes, Thunderbird uses the msf files for local info. I've read that deleting those and having TBird recreate them can fix some of TBird's strange habits.

Re: HMS/MySQL upgrade, errors, hangs

That is correct. 3310 is the clamd service.

We are going to try moving the hms db from mysql to sql server in the near future and see if that makes any difference. But so far today, aside from that one error, everything has been running OK.
