The problem here is that you keep repeating a very vague description of symptoms without giving us any information which could point us in the right direction. Basically, to PF, the difference between a text only mail message and one with an attachment lies only in the amount of data which is transferred, if that. I reiterate that the more likely culprit is some sort of content filtering you are either not aware of or not telling us about. In some truly resource starved configurations, such as a system extremely low on memory, loading PF could be what makes the system start swapping, if the connection between your gateway and the mail server is already rather saturated a largish mail message would have trouble making it without timing out, and so on. There are several more ways to misconfigure a machine so it will produce the rather bizarre symptoms you are describing, but from the information you are volunteering it's pretty much impossible to tell what is causing the situation. -- Peter N.
