Carriage returns it was !! I am a network jockey in real life so it was quite fun getting a difficult application problem, even if it was not of our making. Thanks for you help and ideas.

Having delved into the depths of packet capture on the inbound and outbound interfaces of the mail servers, it seems that the problem is carriage returns or rather the lack of them. The inbound traffic from the application only has linefeed at the end of each line. Traffic to exrernal mailboxes...

Everything else about our email system functions correctly. ( so far as I can tell ). The system has been in and working for several years. I to think it is related to the new application, because it is the only thing that has changed. What confuses me massivley is that when our mail servers...

The backgound. I have a networked webcam which will automatically ftp JPEG snapshot images to a server for inclusion on a web page. I can make it do this quite happily. But I also want to retain the images for later use. The camera can automatically name the files in sequence, the name is...

I have a newish windoes-ME PC with IE5 and OE5. If I boot the machine and go straight to OE5 it does not bring up the connection dialog box, it goes straight to send/receive and errors out. If I re boot, go straight to dial up networking, manually make the connection and then go to OE5, it...

The run finished after some 17 hours. Obviously not a job to be squeezed into the schedule.
