SYMPTOMS

If you use the Configure E-mail and Internet Connection Wizard to configure Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 to block e-mail attachments and to move them to a folder, and you receive an e-mail attachment that has the same file name as an earlier attachment that Small Business Server blocked and moved, you cannot retrieve the earlier attachment.

CAUSE

When Small Business Server removes an attachment from an e-mail message, and then Small Business Server removes another attachment that has the same file name from another e-mail message, the attachment that was received later overwrites the earlier attachment. The earlier attachment is overwritten even though the attachment that was received later is a different file. This behavior occurs because the primary goal of this feature is to block potentially dangerous viruses that are sent as attachments. The option to save attachments to a folder is intended to help you save and retrieve files that you want to keep. However, this feature cannot distinguish between two files that have the same file name.

APPLIES TO

Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition
Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
