[access-uk] Re: AVG7 PROBLEM

Hello Pele,

Yes, many people have had this meaningless message. I don't know
if it is to do with size, as this should be determined by your
I/sP and not AVG--but who knows. I had been using AVG 7 for
months with no trouble before this started to happen, and it was
when I was sending large blocks of multiple e-mails of four or
five pages each but with no attachment that the failure to send
occurred.

As stated, you can get the message even when no attachments are
sent. The warning message says it is returning the message to
you below but there is never anything shown below, so you often
don't know what message failed to go if you have sent several.

To eliminate this, I have turned off the personal e-mail scanner
for both incoming and outgoing messages. This, of course, partly
negates the purpose of having a virus scanner but my ISP
(Onetel) now intercepts the vast majority of e-mails which have
virus attachments on them and spam (and too many which don't as
well, I'm afraid to say) and its usually easy to spot "dodgy"
e-mails and delete them anyway. Just make sure that you run the
AVG complete system scan regularly in this case.

Regards,
John.

Hi Everyone

I wrote to the list last week about a problem sending long
e-mails. I
believe it is a size problem, but I could be wrong.

Here is the meaningless message I received today after sending a
large
e-mail with attachments:

"From: AVG for Email <avgmail@localhost>

Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

This is the AVG E-mail Scanner program.

I'm sorry to have to inform you that the message returned
below could not be delivered to one or more destinations.

Your e-mail message is being returned to you in the next part of
this
message. Try to send the message again.

Should you need assistance, please contact your administrator or
your
internet service provider."

The message is sent as an attachment.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Can anyone suggest another anti-virus software which is free and
friendly?
