Attachemnts on e-mails
« on: October 24, 2003, 03:59:59 AM »
I just down loaded Version 4.1.287 and now I can not send out any e-mails with attachments, I get an error message that the connection was closed by foreign host. I am pretty sure it is Avast that is the problem because I did change my e-mail settings so it would not go through Avast and I had no problem with sending attachments, has any one else have this problem. I do not know if it is an error in the program. I am running Eudora 6.0.  ???

Hi Windy, and Technical,

I've just checked Outlook 2002 and Pegasus Mail, both are working fine on the new update for me (send and Receive with attachments).

Is it any particular kind of attachment you are trying to send (text, exe, image etc) I tested with a .gif with no problems.  ???

I'm trying .gif and .doc and could not send them.
Today morning I receive and send .doc files with easy...

In avast! iNews is said that a timeout problem related to SMTP communication was fixed. Is this related to my problem? I think not because is not a timeout trouble... I´ll keep working but this new bug is really annoying...  :'(

It's really strange Tech, I've just tested again from Pegasus to Outlook then from Outlook to Pegasus all on different accounts. I just can't duplicate the problem.

Also wondering... are you scanning outgoing mail and attachments and/or inserting a 'clean' message.

I don't so just trying to think of any differences in our configurations.!

Yes there is a bug in the new version. It does not appear always, it depends on message size and network speed and that's why it was not revealed, I'm really sorry for this. Please try this fix: http://www2.asw.cz/~peterka/287/ashMaiSv.exe

Version 4.1.289 was released 30 minutes ago.
It only has one fix, and that is this ashMaiSv.exe.
