The files match the rule which tries to stop attachements that are
attempting to hide their true file type from getting through.

If you don't like this behaviour I suggest you take another read of
the docs and the config files and turn it off.

Cheers, Steve

Hi,

Can anyone help?

How did this happen?

They were plain PDF files and for sure did not have any Viruses in
them.
