   Hello Paul,   
      
    Al>> I can post my log also for that session and we'll see if we can   
    Al>> get a better  idea of what the problem is.   
      
    PH> I wonder if TIC processing is not happening so files build up and get   
    PH> renamed?   
      
   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.
