RE: [cobalt-users] Bassi Mailscanner & F-Prot

["Andrew Danneffel" <adanneffel@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Thanks for the helpful responses.  

Indeed, I searched the archives and there are a series of threads from last
August discussing the update of F-Prot.  I had a more careful look at my
system and it seems the definitions were last properly installed on February
25th, 2004.  I wonder if F-Prot did something this past week to their
definitions to suddenly cause those of us with the old version to experience
troubles?

I will update F-Prot and follow the instructions Bassi set out back in
August.

Regards,

Andrew Danneffel

if you are not good at it, contact steve directly

if you have not updated the application from steve's original install, you 
need to upgrade the application
i tried and screwed mine up and steve fixed the files I screwed up as well 
as made sure it was working correctly.

It now runs better than it ever did originally

sorry if i did not make  a lot of sense, i am falling asleep
