Slide scan attachment for 5200 C

I have an old back-up computer running Widows XP in conjunction with an HP 5200C scanner. I have the slide scan attachment for the scanner but can't get it to work. I no longer have any of the operating instructions.
What do I need to do?
This question was solved.

Oh ok got ya.
You must be using one of these shown in this review.
http://www.andromeda.com/people/ddyer/photo/slide-transfer.html
Those are a rare piece of equipment. No, there are no instructions on the net for the prism attachment. Very frustrating HP. I heard they were ok but not that great actually.
So you are asking how to place the slide in the prism and use it, correct?
The only instructions I can find are for a homemade version that works under the same principle.
The key is to place the slide in the center of the scanner but position the slide to one end of the prism so I can get as much light as it can to reflect back into the film.
Look at the example on this web page for the homemade version. The principle should be the same.

If this is what you are asking, then this should work.

Looking for Pixma plus 35mm slide scanning!

Hello.
I used to have a Canon Pixma printer with a 35mm scanning facility built in to the lid. Broke down some time ago, unfortunately.
And now Canon don't do Pixma printers with 35mm scanning.
Been scouring the internet for an MG8250 or equivalent, with no luck. I don't WANT to change from Pixma. I think it's possibly the best colour print system you can buy, but I do need that 35mm slide scanning facility, so any suggestions as to an alternative product, i.e. a good quality colour printer (plus copier plus flatbed scanner plus 35mm slide scanner), offering similar print quality as the Pixma?
I suppose one alternative is to buy a stand-alone 35mm neg scanner, but I also have a number of ancient (1890s) large b&w negatives so a 35mm-only carrier wouldn't do - I need something where I can use bits of tape etc. to hold odd-sized films.
Thanks for reading, and I hope someone has a suggestion or two.
Allen.

Aside from looking at the pretty transitions, did you read
the rest of the
page? See the part where it says "Step 1 - copy and
paste....."
Then do Step 2. It just can't get any easier than that.
Read the bit underneath step 2 and it tells you how the
script can be used
multiple times on a page - Again - step 1: you give it a new
name in the
javascript file, and add the names and paths of the images
for the
consecutive slides you wish to display. Then, again, Step 2 -
you call the
slideshow somewhere on your page.
Without sounding condescending, sit back, read the
instructions again, and
have a go at implementing them into your page.
Upload your efforts, post a link to the page, and we'll be
able to help you
further if you need it.
You can describe what you have, how you want it to work, but
until we see a
page live, its a bit hard to help further.
Last resort, spring for a paid solution to do it all for you

recommend) -

Attachment for incoming invoice

Hello All,
I achieved to attach an external document to a PO with object id BUS2012. The same method did not work for BUS2081, which is vendor invoice. I use the method CL_BINARY_RELATION=>CREATE_LINK to create attachments. The method does not return any errors and ok message is issued but when I want to display the invoice with tx MIR4 there is no attachment.
What should I check?
Thx in advance,
Ali

Hi,
I am giving a brief about the flow you should follow.
PERFORM file_upload USING p_file. (This is the perform in which you will upload your file with the business object of the document, document key, archiv type, the local path of attachment etc...)
PERFORM validate_file.   ( This is to validate your entries from the file)
PERFORM bo_existence_check. (This is to check the the existence check of the business object and document key in the system)
LOOP AT gt_upload_file INTO gs_upload_file. (This is looping through the file for each entry i.e. each document)
      PERFORM upload_attachment. ( This is to upload scanned attachment to optical archiv drive)
Use FM SCMS_AO_FILE_PUT_FE for uploading the file
       PERFORM link_archiv. (This is to link the uploaded document in archiv drive with the document in SAP system)
USE FM ARCHIV_CONNECTIONTABLE_INSERT for linking the document and attachment.
ENDLOOP.
Let me know if you find it useful.
Thanks and Regards,
Kiran Mohan

VISA and Scan string for tokens

Hi there,
I am currently developing a piece of software which needs to take in data from an Arduino board via the serial port and parse the input accordingly.
I have the 2 pieces of code working perfectly well separately, but I can not seem to figure out why they are not functioning properly together.
Just now, the input is being retrieved fine and passed into the Scan string for tokens method, but it is not being split on the tokens, it is just outputting the string as a whole.
The input is in the form of 1:0 2:0 3:1 etc. so I am trying to split it on any spaces found. If I attach a string to the Scan strings for tokens it works fine, just not when I am attaching the data from the serial port to it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
In the output which you are getting from the serial port, is there space between 1:0 and 2:0 and 3:1? If there is no space between them, then it wont be able to scan for tokens and will output the whole string. I don't have the hardware here and so don't know what exactly is the output which you are receiving. Try to see in the read buffer indicator whether the tokens are seperated by a space or not.
I have attached your vi after adding a small part in it. If the problem is with the spacing then this will work fine for 1:0 2:0 3:1.

Nitzz

Disk Utility - Scan Image for Restore - Freeze

I backed up my wife's iBook by starting her computer in target disk to my iBook which has a huge external attached. After about an hour, the image process was complete. Apple disk utility help says next to scan image for restore (not too sure why because I'm not restoring anything unless her drive dies). I begin the scan image for restore and get the progress bar that never shows and progress. Just keeps spinning/scanning for hours and I have no option to shut if off. Can't move external to trash because it in use, etc.
Does this mean the original disk image may be bad? Do over?
I'm using Disk Image as a solution for a total disk backup if a drive fails. No messing around with reconfiguring apps, etc. (i.e. plug and play) Is this the best way to do this?
I come from the Mac Plus days. Hopefully I can contribute to the new OS discussions at some point. Thank you much!

What format is the external drive?
Is it Firewire or USB?
Does the external drive have one of those front button touch things, like a My Book?

My phone is not jailbroken. I don't know what you mean about hacked. Maybe it is hacked? This is what is happening: About three times over the past few months I've noticed that my phone while "off" will come on (light up) and the screen shows an arrow towards the bottom; an arrow such that you would see on various "players" in order to "play" video or audio, I've searched my phone and cannot find any app that produces this particular screen though. Once I pick up the phone when this screen myseriously appears out of nowhere and press anything, it goes away and goes to the standard "slider" front page to unlock the phone.

"Scan String For Tokens" weird behaviour

I am trying to carry out the simple task of getting a string with
comma delimiters and produce a string_array with the values in between
the commas; this would simplify calling the different parts of the
string.
Example:
INPUT: this,is,an,example
OUTPUT: this|is|an|example (this would be an array of strings)
Using a while loop with the two VI "Scan String For Tokens" and
"Insert to array" should be enough to carry this task. I started
using a FOR loop as the number of tokens I´ll be using is fixed.
However I wanted to make the subVI more general by allowing any
#tokens in the input string and using the token index with a WHILE
loop to do this. The "token index" output from the "Scan String For
Tokens" is said to be use
d in a while loop to process the whole
string.
However,I´m getting -1 as an output even if I´ve got more tokens left
and the while loop therefore exits.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I use -2 as the comparison to decide whether I´m at hte end or
not of the string?
Cheers and TIA

Check the offset for -1, not the token index. (See attached image). If course if this is a multiline string, the you also need /n etc as delimiter.
If the string ends in a delimiter, you need to clip the last array element. I usually use "reshape array" with the output from [n] as input.

D-110 Slide Scanning

I have a D-110. Can I scan and digitize 35mm slides ? If so, do I need any other accessories ?

Hi cgn200,
RE: Slide scanning, take a look at this article:
http://www.hp.com/canada/portal/hho/digital_photography/organize_archive_photos/tips/scanning_slides...
Note: you need a photo scanner with built-in negative and slide scanning ability
You would need a product specifically designed for this purpose, as a standard scanner won't be able to produce satisfactory resutls. The products recommended by the article are the
HP Scanjet G3110
HP Scanjet G4010
HP Scanjet G4050
Hope this helps!

I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

I am looking for a (free, ideally) virus scan/check for my MacBook Pro -- any suggestions?

Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software.
☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in everyemail attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It's as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Convert slide scan files to .dng?

We are scanning masses of old slide scans and bringing them into Lightroom as .tiffs. Recently I was told that if I convert those .tiff files to .dng that would enhance developing operations in the Develop module and almost simulate working with a RAW file.
Does anyone have any experience with this process? And any opinion about it?

The only advantage of DNG over a TIFF is its ability to retain the full RAW capture of a photographic sensor. A scanner works differently, some have a pseudo RAW format...Nikon scanners can do this scanning to the NEF format. But if you have scanned as a TIFF keep the original as a TIFF LR's functionality will be the same with a DNG made from a TIFF and the original TIFF. Whoever is telling you taht you can magically gain information by converting file types is misleading you and DNG compression (whilst the best for RAW formats, isn't any better than TIFF's so the file size remains the same as does the ability to write xmp metadata to the file (rather than as a sidecar file. In brief converting anything other than an original RAW file to the DNG format is just a waste of time.

HP 8610 Scan attached to email on computer

Attempting to attach scans from 8610 to my Thunderbird email client. I was able to do this easily with my old Canon all in one, and can do it with Windows Fax and Scan but HP software cannot find my email client, even though the instructions actually mention Mozilla Thunderbird, and I quote:
"Email as PDF
Use this option to automatically attach a non-editable scanned PDF text document to an email message using a local email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird."
I have tried every possible option and arrangement but nothing will work. Scanning works fine, I can send scans as emails from the 8610 directly but CANNOT get the software to attach a scan to Thunderbird.
What am I missing?
Many thanks in advance.

Hello @dicnic,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when trying to scan through the HP Scan software for your HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 computer to your Mozilla Thunderbird email application. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue.
To start troubleshooting I am going to have you ensure that your Mozilla Thunderbird software is set as the Default Email Program on your computer.
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start type in default programs and hit enter on your keyboard
When the Default Programs window opens select Set your default programs
Click on Mozilla Thunderbird on the left hand side
Next, click set this program as default on the bottom right
Click OK if prompted
Restart your computer
Once your computer has completed its restart please try scanning to email again.
If 'Scan to Email' still fails while using Mozilla Thunderbird you may find this thread helpful. There is a post that lists how to alter the Registry to 'allow' the Scan to Email feature to work with Thunderbird. I cannot guarantee these steps will work for you as there is no HP supported documentation to back up the findings, but other users appear to have luck with the fix. Please only follow the steps if you're comfortable with altering the Registry on your computer. Also, rather than altering the path for Windows Live Mail, alter it for Mozilla Thunderbird. The path for Mozilla Thunderbird should be found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Thunderbird. Once you export the key you can follow the listed steps under Notepad to alter the key. I would highly recommend backing up the Registry on your computer prior to making any changes to the Registry. If you do not feel comfortable with following these steps, please do not. I will be more than happy to guide you through some alternative troubleshooting steps should setting the Default Mail Program fail to resolve your scan to email issue.
Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your scanning issue. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thunderbird fails to send email when "Scan email for junk mail" option is checked in Server Admin

I have 2 clients that need to send mail through my server, one Mac and one Windows. The Mac uses apple mail and the Windows machine uses Thunderbird.
Apple Mail will send fine, it is set up for "Use Default ports 25, 465, 587" and "Use SSL" and "Authentication: MD5 Challenge-response".
Thunderbird refuses to send and I don't even see any errors showing up in the Console on the OS X server under smtpd entries.
If I uncheck the "Scan email for junk mail" option on the server, then Thunderbird will send fine.
Thunderbird is set up as: "smtp port 587 (default)" "connection security: STARTTLS" "Authentication method: Encrypted Password"
May or may not be relevant: I use virtual domains as well as aliases.
Server: Mac OS X Server version 10.5.8

Solved it, looks like maybe the smtpd settings for sasl authentication may not have been correct. I followed everything in http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/38/41/ the "Frontline Spam Defense for OS X server" guide and now can send mail just fine from Thunderbird Winodws and from Apple Mail.

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck. I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file. I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set. It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

When Scan email for junk mail, or virus's is enabled, sending mail fails

When I configure mail to scan email for either junk or virus's, i get the following in my SMTP log:
Sep 6 17:44:59 eve postfix/smtp[28412]: D60C89D66D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]: Connection refused)
If I disable both junk and virus's I am able to send normally
Any ideas?

when I run:
ps U _amavisd
The only processes are:
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
3308 ?? Ss 0:01.32 clamd
3593 ?? Rs 0:03.79 clamd
I then ran amavisd, and did not get any errors at the terminal, but here are my logs

eve.southsoundchristian.org and mail.southsoundchristian.org are the same server, with different NICs and IPs
I was thinking about upgrading to amavisd-new I found a tutorial at http://osx.topicdesk.com/content/view/138/41/
Do think that may help?
I did update clamd after my first post on this, and it looks like clamd is running, just nothing else.
Thanks
