Help with Pfi.dll - 27.Jun.2008 4:01:27 AM

I'm having a very recurrent problem with a client who uses MSEC & ME on Exchange 2003. All in one box. Trouble starts when internal mails just sit in the queues and then all mail stops going. Days of troubleshooting lead to;
-lots of mails in FailedMails
-a few over 1MB messages in the exchange queues.
-a straight un-install of MSEC seems to sort the prob
I decided to do a reinstall instead and this also seemed to work. More headaches later on let me to the pfi.dll file which gets refreshed by the reinstall. my work-around now is to just save a cpoy of this file from a fresh install and when trouble calls(messages dumped into FailedMails, no sending or receiving works), i just kill MSEC, replace this file and restart. everything goes back to normal.

my confusion is:
what is the work of pfi.dll as far as scanning and releasing messages goes?
does MSEC have a message size limit?
how can i prevent this file from getting corrupted every now and then?

any pointers appreciated

john

This is indeed a strange problem. Next time the problem occurs, can you generate the Troubleshooter files and upload them to us so that we have a look? Information on how to do this can be found at http://forums.gfi.com/General_Information/m_900727091/tm.htm

Also, what is the build number of the MailSecurity that is installed pls?
