If the router were running any anti-spam software, the package would
probably have advertised that like these products

Although they seem more aimed at larger networks and not home users.

Mike - Thanks for staying with this.

Second level response at my ISP have gone silent - hopefully they'll
come
back with something. I have had a response from Cloudmark, and they
are
assessing the details of the problem - I'll keep you posted.

I connect through a wireless router and then dircetly through my
ntlworld
cable modem - how would I check whether my router is running any sort
of anti
-spam?

Thanks

You may need to talk to second level support. You'll have to ask the
first level to transfer you.

If cloudmark isn't on your PC it would either have to be at the ISP
or
on some system that you connect through to get mail. I wouldn't
expect
it to be running on a router, but I suppose that's possible.

I've heard of hardware firewalls offer anti-virus an anti-spam
services.
Are you sing anything like that?

No sign of Cloudmark on either of my pcs (both suffering the same
missing
attachments problem in OE and Outlook). If I log into my ntl
account
via
webmail, I can see the attachments (and download them). The problem
only
occurs when downloading emails from the server into OE / Outlook.
I've
emailed Cloudmark but no response - ntl have replied again but
won't
tell me
which anti-spam they use (although they felt Cloudmark was a
desktop
application)

Check your PC to make sure that you aren't running cloudmark.
Cloudmark
offers both ISP and PC based versions.

Check Control Panel Add/Remove programs to see if it is listed.

Hi,
I have the same problem (have posted earlier). Ntlworld deny
Cloudmark
exists on their systems. Any ideas?

You could pester NTLWORLD and note what Michael came up with.
That
said, can
you disable Cloudmark, or is it forced upon you? I would get
rid
of
it if it
was up to me. This particular problem is dedicated to
Cluodmark,
but
Outlook
Express and spam programs have a long history of not playing
well
together.
I don't know what the headers should look like. That is among
one
of
Michael's qualities and not mine.

Also, if you have e-mail scanning enabled in AVG, please do the
following.
It is not a cure for this problem, but e-mail scanning causes
issues
of its
own.

Reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning
when
you see
that option. For some reason, just unchecking it in the
security
center
causes a conflict with the Windows Security Center.

news Hi Bruce

I'm getting there, this solution works.... sometimes..... I
can
recover
some
attachments but then get corrupt message text etc, the
headers
are
more
confused that your link outlines because AVG scan results
appear
in
the
line
too. Am I best to just pester NTLWORLD to do something about
'Cloudmark',
or
would I be onto a loser there?

Thanks for the help so far, can you direct me to something
that
will show
me
what the headers should look like (AVG scans included) or do
I
use
have to
use trial and error from past mails that have worked?

But many thanks for at least identifying the likely source of
the
problem!

Cheers

Edzell

In the last few days (and there are posts on other sites
so
I'm
not
alone
http://help.wugnet.com/windows2/Atta...ict493907.html)
Outlook Express will download mails with 100k-ish
attachments
but
though
larger attachments of any file type will download to OE
(the
mail size
shows
it has the attachment) no paperclip appears and I can't
access
the
attachment
in any way. This applies to mails from any external
sender
(hotmail,
gmail,
etc). Bizzarely I can forward a mail with a large
attachment
to
myself
(via
my ntlworld account) and open it as normal (the paper clip
is
present).
Hours of doing everything recommended with security
settings
and
virus
scanners, compacting etc has no effect on this problem.
Help!
