How can I verify it from local smtp server (exim)?
Exim doesn't remove or alter attachments (or alter the bodies of messages in general) unless someone configures it to do so. I think it's unlikely that you would have done that by accident. On the other hand, many organizations do deliberately configure their MTAs to strip various types of executable attachments -- sometimes including MS Office files -- in order to reduce the spread of viruses. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
