The server at the other end would be configured simply to delete all messages with .zip attachments for security reasons as some virus's / scripts are called this. The reason for not sending a notification could be that the anti-virus software is doing the removal of the message before it hits the mail queue. Most virus and spam traps are configured like this. Mail is diverted first through the anti-virus / spam software, processed and then routed back to the mail queue. Rob
