First, I want to state that I do not think this is exim related, but feel
that the problem is caused by M$ Outlook. I post it here because I feel
that it will pop up at other locations, and the solution may help other
email administrators if found.
I came in this morning, and my inbox is full of emails with "txt"
attachments. Some are simple system status messages that come in every day.
I checked the attachments, and they are just text files containing the text
of the message.
It is only affecting emails that come in in text format, and doesn't appear
to change any of my html emails.
Is it remotely possible that Exim is doing this? Nothing in my
configuration has changed for several weeks.
Exim 4.22 .. sa-exim .. exiscan
Client is MS Outlook 2000 (don't complain, I must support outlook because of
client requirements)
The following email (copied directly from the mail folder) came in with a
txt attachment:
