I suspect it is the > domain being used. I think the reason could be that my emails are regarded as spam by some mail filters. I found out that very often my emails land in the trashbin for this reason even though they do not bear any resemblance with spam mails. I think you are right about the domain, or perhaps the spam filters just do not like seeing too many digits in a mail address, who knows? To Glenn: > Your disk space on the current drive was too low. > Arachne will by-pass any email bigger than 50% of available diskspace. > Available disk space on the current drive will need to be 4488362 bytes > in-order for Arachne to get that 2244181 message. Yup, I suppose *exactly* this was the problem since I only had about 3MB left on the drive where Arachne resides. Someone really should have told me about this limit! ;-) I also remember that once I was trying to download a 12MB email and wondered why I could not get it even though I had 16MB of free disk space. But frankly spoken, should not Arachne rather inform the user of this problem instead of silently fail and have him guess what is wrong? And is requiring a free space of double the size of the incoming mail not *a little bit* extreme? ;-) I would think that checking for the exact size in free space would be more reasonable, with an additional check to see if there was no error while writing the file before deleting it.
