subject: Forward File routing

JD>> Duplicate files received.
 JD>> Interesting...

 JD>> I hadn't thought to try that with Squish.

 ml> yeah, here's two different but similar scenerios...

 ml> 1. have a system route two messages with identicle named file 
 ml> attaches via your system...

 ml> 2. have a system route two carbons of a message with a file attach 
 ml> via your system...


No...   hehehehe
I haven't gotten around to trying it.   :)


 ml> in the first case, its seperate messages... the second case is carbon 
 ml> copies...

 ml> some mailers attempt to send a copy of the file with each message it 
 ml> sends... many mailers will adjust the name of the second subsequent 
 ml> files... intelligent mailers will send only one copy of the file and 
 ml> will also not remove the file until all netmails that reference the 
 ml> file are sent... a dumb mailer sending to another dumb mailer or to 
 ml> an intelligent mailer will cause problems to one degree or another... 
 ml> i can see the secondary files being orphaned on the intelligent 
 ml> mailer and the properly named one traveling on as desired... dumb 
 ml> mailer to dumb mailer will result in secondary files being orphaned 
 ml> and additional messages, other than the first one, to leave the 
 ml> system without the accompanying file... intelligent mailer to dumb 
 ml> mailer will work fine but the dumb mailer will mess it up by not 
 ml> sending the file with the secondary messages...

 ml> head aching yet? :wink:

Yet? ??
That started about mid-paragraph.
