I've got an access program that uses VB code to allow me to send
serial e-mails through my mail server. I can send e-mails without
problem, I can even include attachments; except when I try to send
.pdf attachments. When I try to do that, The e-mail goes out, but it
does not include the attachment, and it adds a block of random
characters to the bottom of the e-mail. I am getting reports from
recipients that when they try to open the e-mails it causes their
computer to have issues.

I've been running some tests, and I'm down to thinking that it's
something to do with how my e-mail server is handling PDF files as
attachments. I have some, but limited, experience with
server/exchange management, so I was wondering if anyone could give
me some suggestions on things/setting to check for potential
problems. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Can you use OWA to send one of these PDF attachments to anyone? That will
tell you whether Exchange itself is having problems.

What about a POP or IMAP client configured to relay through the Exchange box
for SMTP?

You haven't mentioned your version or SP levels of anything - remember to do
that as it can make a huge difference.
