Exchange servers don't reject attachments during the message transmission. They may quarantine the attachment or remove it or NDR the message all based on what AV/AS software is installed and how it's configured.
There's nothing special about sending MIME to Exchange in the SMTP protocol though. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bernard Tremblay Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 1:30 PM To: perl-win32-admin@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Re: MIME::Lite permission denied on binary files only On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 12:05:14 -0800, Brian McKee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: >Hi All > New list member - please shove me around as required :-) > >I've written a script to forward logs on an XP box. >I'm a pretty newbie perl guy, and this is my first Win32 attempt so >it's likely something obvious. > >Using MIME::Lite, it sends plain text fine, but gives me 'permission >denied' when I try and attach a binary file. > >Does it matter that the system has no file association for the file type? > >The section I think is appropos is: >--------------------------------------------- ># if it's still here - attach it > print "trying to attach binary file $currentPath - $_ \n " ; > $msg->attach( > Type => 'AUTO', > Path => $currentPath , > Filename => $_ , > Disposition => 'attachment' > ); > } > my $folderEndLine = qq| >End of $currentPath >$headerLine >| ; > $msg->attach( > Type => 'TEXT', > Data => $folderEndLine , > ) ; >} >warn "Error sending e-mail: $!" unless $msg->send; >----------------------------------- > >The whole script is below. > >The archives show an inquiry about the same error circa 2001, but I >can't see what the fix was. > >Any pointers appreciated. > >Brian McKee > >PS What's the difference between the -users and the -adminstrators lists? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Hi, You said you're using SMTP. Could it be the server who says it refuses binary attachments ??? Some Exchange servers may do this now to prevent virus spreadings... regards, BT -- Bernard Tremblay [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list Perl-Win32-Admin@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list Perl-Win32-Admin@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
