Hi Eric, I had some fun with pdf files too (even before I met SA the first time), but I receive binary files pretty often ... and usually undisturbed
A pdf file MAY look like a text file to a naive sender (this depends on pdf features, and the pdf spec specifically has a few non-text characters within the first 512 bytes, meant to convince a mail sender guessing text/binary rather than knowing file types) IF it happens to be treated as text, chances are that at some point in the mail flow a line ending conversion is applied to the pdf file .... and this will certainly break it. It is certainly not the SA to blame here but whoever believes that sending enough non RFC compliant mails around will make the world change to non RFC behaviour. AFAIK RFC821 says that mail is NOT 8 bit transparent Wolfgang Hamann >> Just changed the sink from "Mail from=*" to "rctp [EMAIL PROTECTED]" ... >> Sent an pdf to me at an outside address from inside, and separately to an >> inside address... >> >> This inside address gets a corrupted pdf and was scanned by spamassassin. >> The outside address gets a complete functional pdf, and was NOT scanned by >> spamassassin.
