Hi all,

I am really stuck with this one, have searched the net, but couldn't find any answers..Maybe someone here? Here it is:

I use sendmail as my MTA, and use outlook on my windoze as email client... When I send an email to someone, who uses my server as mailserver also, (so sort of a local mail) with an attachment on it, this sometimes goes wrong.

I have the feeling his has something to do with the type of attachments: A *.txt file is OK, a *.jpg also. But a *.wmv file goes wrong. This is attached as a Winmail.dat to the mail.

Is this something to do with the unknown extension (.wmv)? Should I add something to a config file to let sendmail know what kind of wmv -file is? (MIME type?) Or does this have nothing to do with it?

Thanks for your help in advance!

.wmv is a proprietary format. I doubt that linux will recognize it as a valid MIME format. It is probably converting it during transport. That would explain why the open formats .jpg and .txt are not effected. Just an idea. You may be able to:

change your config to handle it (but I don't know how)

or switch to a less proprietary format - my suggestion,

Take care!!

Anyone knows where to put this in a config or something like that? I would be very thankful for any solutions!
