Anti-virus (or anti-spam, or anti-whatever) filter? Did the third user get the attachment with the proper extension?...

I don't know why it would be converted to a .dat file; but there may be a minor problem on your side. You might want to check whether the MIME type table...
Wow. Over a decade riding herd on this beast, and I've never even heard mention of that view. Thanks for pointing it out. Don't know if it has anything to...

Yes that view is pretty handy if you want to block sending of files that are known to be mailicious/problematic. the TNEF format (the ms.dat) is one I choose...
It handles the mapping of file extensions into the content-type header for MIME parts. Missing extensions will be mapped to something generic -- but that...
Yeah, I see that one in the list. Interesting. Can't think of any reason why any of our systems would be generating those attachments, but interesting...

COM may also be an option. I think it's important to ask: does the database system need real-time access to Domino data? Or is this more of a periodic import...
