[Esd-l] Inconsistent destruction of .doc files

[Stan Markham]

Running version 1.32 on Redhat 7.0 using Outlook (different versions - no
Express) as client.  I am required to permit Word, Excel and Power Point
documents to pass without change (except that included files may be mangled)
and have removed .do[ct], .xl? and .ppt from the mangle and poison lists.

Probably 98 percent of these files have passed through without a problem.
Sop far the problem seems to be limited to Word documents that are sent from
internally from Outlook 2000 (SP2) to another local mail recipient.  Case in
point:  56k Word Doc sent as an attahcement to four local users in two
different buildings. One user in each building could access the document
after receipt.  Log file on the clean send looks like this:

Log for those that didn't make it:

Any ideas?
