Win2k3 Server - POP3 service - MIME encoding for email attachments

[Guest Sam Robins]

I'm using standard POP3 service to receive emails and having a weird problem.

The service ignores (does not receive) any messages with binary attachments

even though the sender receives confirmation receipt which states that

massage was relayed successfully and I have no problem to receive emails with

text attachments.

 

I spend a whole day googling the subject and still can’t understand what’s

happening.

 

The question: is Win2k3 POP3 service supports MIME encoding for email

attachments? And if it does then what setting could cause the service to

ignore messages with binary attachments?
