Hello, I am hoping one of you guys can help me create a script. I am a support engineer, with GFI. We develop secuirty and message software. We have a spam product (Mail Essentials), that will fail to process messages at times, due to several enviroment variables. The problem is there is no "alerting" for our customer that this is happening other than "alot of spam is getting into my Inbox. We have a text file named mtastr.txt which is typically installed to c:\program files\gfi\mail essentials\gfimon. I would like a script that can be set up on a schedule task that will parse this file and look for "Item processed unsuccessfull". I then would like for the script to send an email to the adminstrator reporting this. You guys have always been very helpful, I hoping you have
time to help with this as well. Thanks in advance for your time. Jimmy

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
