Hello everyone!
I have been receiving TONS of messages to my inbox from avast regarding "untestable mail."
I cannot figure out why these messages are deemed untestable, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency in which messages get flagged as such.
Here is the most recent message I received:
avast! Antivirus: Untestable Mail Detected

And then on the server side, here is the error message in the Antivirus Log:
Source: Avast!
Event ID: 26646
Computer: (mail server)
Description: Cannot commit changes to the message. Error code is 0x8003001D.
Message info:

Subject: ??94-??
Very strange and I cannot find anything that would point to the cause. Has anyone else run into this before? Any tips appreciated
