I can send an email with an attachment without any problem. However if
I receive an email with an attachment and then try to forward it on to
someone else it appears to go all right. Then I get a message that the
email failed to be delivered. Here is the error message....
This message has been rejected because it has
a potentially executable attachment "testing attachments.eml"
This form of attachment has been used by
recent viruses or other malware.
If you meant to send this file then please
package it up as a zip file and resend it.
This appears to be a response from the sending or more likely the
receiving server. Is it correct you can send email with another type of
attachment to the same recipient successfully?
I don't understand this. I can send a new email with an attachment but
I can't forward one that was previously sent to me.
Incidentally the attachment was not executable. If it is relevant I am
using Linux Mint 10 KDE.
Can anyone help please?
Does it happen only when you forward a message with attachments on its
own, or does it happen when you forward simple text message, also? If
the later is also true, I think it is quite possible the receiving
server could be operating in "paranoid mode", as Philip TAYLOR has
already noted in another reply.
In SeaMonkey I can write a new email, add an attachment, and then send
it successfully. However, if I receive an email from someone else, and
that email includes an attachment, and I then try to forward that
email to a third person I get the error message and the email is not sent.
In thunderbird I can forward that same email successfully. No error
message.
Straight emails, without attachments, work normally. It is only when I
try to forward on a previously received email with an attachment that
I have the problem.
These emails with attachments also include text in the normal way. I
will test forwarding an email with just an attachment and no text and
let you all know what happens.
Thanks
Neil
