This may be the wrong forum but, if so, I'm sure someone will tell me.

We are attempting to pass mail messages (with file attachments) received on a UNIX (AIX) box to
our MS Exhange 2000 server. The messages are then accessed via MS Outlook 2000 and amended, then passed
back (with file attachment) to the UNIX box for onward transmission.

UNIX protocol - X400

MS Exchange protocol - SMTP

Conversion from one protocol to the other takes place on the UNIX box.

Stage 1 - with a text file attachment have been passed successfully from UNIX to Exchange server

Stage 2 - with text file attachment unsuccessfully passed from Exhange server to UNIX box, in that
the file attachement is opened and displayed (in a corrupt format) as part of the message text.

This convoluted route is necessary, at least in the short term, as the route, via X.400, is our only secure pipeline for confidential data

Can anyone help or advise the correct forum?

Thanks

John.
