Ok. This would answer my second question in my earlier post. I also assume
it's a SA "problem" not a MailScanner one. But how does one solve this?
Sending uuencoded files like this in productive systems seems stupid to me
but I stopped trying to change the world. It does happen. Do all of you
whitelist such hosts?

On the other hand I just found this on the SA list:

"Bayes is done after decoding Base64/uuencode/etc, and after stripping all
of the HTML."
