Hello Paul,

Tic processing is working for him, I think.

There is sometimes (but not always) some kind of communication error between 
the mailers and so they give up when a partial file is received. That partial 
file will not toss because the CRC is incorrect.

Then on the next poll my mailer will send that file again and since that file 
is in the inbound already the new one renamed to *.1.zip, *.2.zip etc.

If I have been following what Edmund has been reporting he sometimes sees 
several *.#.zip files in his inbound. One of them may be the correct file and 
if so he has to rename it to the correct filename and retoss it.

I am not sure just what the problem is or what the solution might be but if we 
can get a better idea on what the problem is we can look to a solution.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
