MailScanner is probably seeing it as a file with many extensions? Ever<br>
period will show as an extension.<br>

Subject: PDF attachment being dropped silently by MailScanner<br>
<br>
I am running MailScanner version 4.78.17 and have an issue when an<br>
HTML email comes in with a PDF attached. Below is the end of the body<br>
when the email is not sent through MailScanner. MailScanner is<br>
dropping off everything past the "<br><br><br><br>" line below.<br>
<br>
