Art,

You are having TNEF issues. These items have been fixed in the latest version, which is here: https://www.mailscanner.info/downloads/ <https://www.mailscanner.info/downloads/>

Please note that most people here are not going to be in a hurry to support Fedora. I would highly suggest that you use a stable OS designed to be used for servers such as:

- RHEL
- CentOS
- Debian
- Ubuntu LTS server
- FreeBSD

You can also use other OS’s like Gentoo, but your community support is going to be hard to come by. The first 4 items on that list are the most common, stable, and easy to get support for. If you setup a new server the current installation scripts they will do everything for you except configure MailScanner. (Required packages, permissions, etc.) 

In short, you are currently running on a solution that is not optimal with an old version of MailScanner that is known to have these TNEF issues. You will save yourself a lot of hair pulling if you just start fresh. You can start here: https://www.mailscanner.info/install/ <https://www.mailscanner.info/install/>
