My mail has stopped working and just goes to the spool director and does not
get spooled anymore. This started two days ago.
Here is what the log shows:

"Error","scheduler-3","05/17/07","11:59:28",,""

I had exactly the same problem. Turned out that when I moved the files
backwards and forward between folders the file type had changed to UTF-8.

You can fix this in notepad by opening each file and saving as "ANSI" - or you
could do the same with cffile type="ANSI"

Hope this helps
