I have one user who gets emails like this from the hmail server with a blank subject line... today he received about twenty of these... we have been using hmail 3.1 build 18 (which I plan to upgrade within minutes of posting this to 3.2 b29) on a MySQL database... This user receives messages from the hmailserver on a blackberry which leaves a copy of all messages on the server to be received later on his workstation... anyone have any ideas?

I'll post back if the upgrade resolves it, but I probably won't know for sure for a couple of days...

Are you running anti virus software on the computer? If your anti virus software removes files used by hMailServer this error can appear.

hmmm... interesting... yes... I am running AVG... but I also just added ClamWin for the integration featured in the new version of hmail (added it after I posted yesterday and after the hmail upgrade... my first hmail upgrade and it went very smoothly, FWIW)... I don't remember seeing any infections found on that server, but I will double check the logs now that you mention it...

no infections found ever on that server

yah , right , i had same config of yours run Avg "free version" and clamwin on a same machine . . . but i did not encounter the problem you mention above . . . hum.

The error message means that the file has been deleted by someone and that someone has not notified hMailServer of that. hMailServer has some quite rigid built-in checks to make sure it does not delete files from the data folder if they are still referenced in the database. (Before deleting a file, it searches through the entire hm_messages table to make sure that there's no reference to it).

i see. btw martin , as i read some thread/topic in this forum i notice that they mention hmail 3.2.1 , my question is where i can download 3.2.1. it seems it can not find 3.2.1 from the download page

http://www.hmailserver.com/?page=download

There was a simple spelling error on the download page.
Build 29 = 3.2.1
Updated download page.

not sure what this part means "yah , right ..." but we are not running the free version of AVG... we run the enterprise edition... and the problem occured before installing clamwin as you'll notice with a careful re-read of the original post



and as for this part, I am absolutely 100% certain that no one deleted anything on this server (as I am the only one with access to it and it is in a room under lock and key... very secure) and also 100% certain that there has been no virus... I am relatively confident that it is a bug between the blackberry mail client and hmail (at least 3.1)... I am currently not terribly concerned about it since the problem has not resurfaced since upgrading to hmail 3.2.1 and I hope it is gone, but you might want to be aware of it nonetheless.
