MailScanner: Message attempted to kill MailScanner

[David Hill]

Are you using internal or external TNEF expender?  If you're using the external one, you need the patch I sent some time ago...

Subject: MailScanner: Message attempted to kill MailScanner

There seems to be a problem with TNEF for this message and others messages from this senter.  The sender refuses to disable RTF in Outlook and the receiver wants the messages from the sender.  So I am stuck trying to figure out how to fix this problem.

-  MailScanner is running on SLES 10 SP4 64-bit, MailScanner Version Number = 4.84.5
-  Expand TNEF = yes
-  Use TNEF Contents = replace
-  TNEF Expander = internal
-  TNEF Timeout = 120
Any ideas/suggestions?  Change to external TNEF expander?  Increase the TNEF timeout?
