Oh yes, you're right here Marck but only at a half. There are some mail
server installations that are sending message.att file attached to a
Mail Delivery Subsystem reports (AKA delivery-status reports). In this
case the actual file contains some diagnostic information regarding the
mail delivery. I bet that I could reproduce such MTA behaviour on my
sendmail :-)
Since I'm not an Exchange user I rely mostly on my experience.
Oops, sorry again.
