honestly, if they want to read (are required to let others read) your mails then they don't put headers in mails.from my days as ISP back in old europe i know that we were forced to have "snooping devices" that can record email conversations but we needed a court order to do so and every court order was limited to only one mail account. the requirement was that it is impossible for the receiver to find out that the mail was taped. not exactly the case if you write headers into mails :-)
i suspect some sort of virus scanner in this case. cheers lenz (zip files are unpacked by virus scanners to effectively scan them btw) On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 9:33 AM, Dan Khan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > We've been having a few issues with Telecom, who host our business > email, truncating a particular email through their virus gateway which > contained a zip file of 935Kb stating the file is too large - > uncompressed this is 26MB so a little odd since it must be expanding > the zip before calculating max size ?!, but this is an aside... > > Whilst trying to get to the bottom of this issue with Telecom, I > noticed that the mail headers included a silent proxy through an mta > at nz.eds.com.
