dbf file corruption?

[Paul Houselander]

Hi

Im hoping someone can give a few pointers as to what
maybe going wrong here.

I have a customer who uses an application called
freight force, this application generates a dbf file
that gets sent via email to a user who imports it into
an accounting application (I think Sage).

This works fine unless it passes through MailScanner.

Both the users have local accounts on my mail server,
if they send/receive this file (using Outlook)
something becomes corrupted, when they do the import
into Sage the data is not readable.

If the user sends the file from his hotmail account to
the local account, its ok? even though it passes
through MailScanner.

If the user sends the file from his local account to a
hotmail account, again the file is ok? again even
though it passes through MailScanner.

So in summary if the users both use there local
accounts, the dbf file gets scanned by MailScanner but
when delivered it becomes unreadable.

I can recreate at will, and can give a copy
(off-list)of the dbf file to anyone interested.

I compared a scanned and unscanned version of the file
using UltraEdit 32, and the hex values of the files
are different.

Its causing me a real headache and any guidance would
be appreciated.

Thanks
