[Mimedefang] Strange behavior

Thank you for the response...

The filename is: "09 30 03 Project description.doc"  (no quotes in the filename)

I checked it in DOS to make sure there wasn't a weird double extension or
anything. Anything dealing with stripping attachments, we allow the message
through with the standard mimedefang info tacked on at the bottom...

Thanks,

Shawn

have you checked the specific file's actual name?  there are cases where a 
file of the name xxx.com.doc (or similar) will be dropped.  all depending 
on which regex is being used for the bad-filname check.
