Mike, Do you have ANY filters running at all? No matter how insignificant it's function might be. What version of xmail are you using on what OS? What configuration changes have you made from the default settings? Are you using any add-on webmail or other programs? What e-mail client are you using? What is the sender using? For that matter what e-mail server are they using? Is the problem only occurring from one person or from one domain? Or is it happening from several sources? Can the problem be reproduced with the same attachment every time? How do you know the attachment is getting damaged? What is the test? Have you scanned your server and workstation for viruses?
Hopefully the answers to these questions will help us point you in the right direction to solve your issue.
