[Dovecot] strange dropping of Word.doc-attachements - sendmail dovecot RHEL4
Hi,
we have a strange problem: two of our users informed me, that they aren't able to send word-.doc-files anymore while othe attachements work fine. The e-mail gets deliverd, but the attachement is dropped.
This happens using the latest thunderbird 1.5.x and mac os x. The e-mail is also not saved in the send-drawer. If the users send the same e-mail to the same recepient using an other mailclient, there is no problem.
Other users (like me) using the same systemsettings and software versions don't have the problem.
The server is RHEL 4 (2.6.9-kernel), sendmail 8.13.1 and dovecot 0.99.
We use Mailscanner and spamassassin too, but as only the two users do have the problem I'm looking for some help to track this problem down.
Any ideas??
Thanks and best regards

Well, Dovecot doesn't touch mail deliveries, and it certainly doesn't remove attachments at any point. I'd guess this is a client problem since using another client works..

O.K., that's something I was thinking too, but getting an other opinion is very usefull for me.
Thank you!
