Do you use Little Snitch, Intego Netbarrier or any similar products? Try uninstalling them and see if the problem is gone.

For years, I have > run seamlessly as the only Mac (until about 6 months ago), using Entourage. > I've had no real glitches. > > Recently, when I FORWARD e-mails containing Word documents to Windows users, > the Word documents cannot be opened, and appear to be corrupted The Windows > user gets some sort of a message asking if they want to repair the file, but > that apparently doesn?t work. This happens when I forward with both the IMAP > and POP accounts in my company's e-mail system. I have also tried sending > them from my .Mac account and my AOL account, using Entourage, with the same > result. > > I first noticed this on Monday when I sent a file with two Word documents > attached. The Windows recipient was able to open one of them, but the other > appeared to be corrupted. Since then, every Word file I have forwarded seems > to be corrupt.

The recipient and I both got > messages from the company firewall saying the attachment had been scrubbed > because it was unable to scan it. Is this a related problem? > > I have gone through all of the Database Utility verifications and rebuilds but > that doesn?t seem to help. I have deselected compression. I have > experimented with encoding, trying both MIME/Base 64, and AppleDouble. I have > restarted, done an FSCK -y -f, zapped PRAM, repaired permissions, run daily, > weekly and monthly UNIX maintenance. All to no avail. > > Is this a problem with my company network, or e-mail server? Some screwy > setting or corrupted Entourage preferences? Is there some preference file I > can trash? Advice?
