Exch 2003 track incoming email with attachment
Hi,
Can we track either the incoming email for exch 2003 has attachment or not? If not where can i trace that incoming with attachment. This is due to user complaint attachment is missing in their email. Thank you.jaie

Is an internal user or external sending an email from the internet? Do you have an spam filter or virus scanner as an SMTP gateway?
If the sender is an internal user then search for "X-MS-Has-Attach: yes" under header . If it is coming for the internet then check for Antivirus/Antispam policy settings. This is a only option which you can have a look for . Or if you wann test and
is for one user only then send the email from your account inlcuding his/her external email account ( hotmail, yahoo.com) and then you can check whether attachment is going through or not.
Thanks

thank for the reply,
Email send from external. Virus scanner at front end not detect any attachment with virus. I tried to used Message tracking for exch 2003 and the best can do is view the sender/recipient and the subject line without showing any email with attachment
included.
Thank you.jaie

the attachment is dropping at organization or might be not getting the attachmet on external as well. Thanks
