This also appears to be OS dependent, as Win9x users can receive attachments, but W2k users can't. I have searched for info and found a list of what's blocked, but am unable to find where to change this list in the Exchange server. Any help would be appreciated. We are running Exchange 5.5 in a NT4 domain. Thanks.
