Probably.

They more than likely filter all attachments for content. That means 
decoding the attachment and seeing what it is and if it is safe. This is 
to avoid virus and trojan horse problems (somethign the military has to 
be extra careful about).

Their "decode and check" system probably doesn't support AppleDouble. And 
because of the probably thousands of filtered attachments they get, they 
probably don't bother doing a bounce message on those that are rejected. 
Its easier to just dispose of the message and not worry about letting 
someone know that they didn't receive a virus message, or making a 
useless attempt to let the sender know they sent a virus (since the 
return paths usually don't go anywhere useful anyway).
