[Mailman-Users] Question on Digest E-mails

So, I reviewed every setting that I can think of which I have listed below that would be involved with the problem that I have on the attachments being scrubbed.
 
filter_content = no
pass_mime_types =blank
pass_filename_extensions=blank
collapse_alternatives=yes
convert_html_to_plaintext=no
nondigestable=no
scrub_nondigest=no
digest_is_default = yes
mime_is_default_digest=mime
 
Still is scrubbing the attachments.  I am stumped.  Any ideas, besides canning our Groupwise e-mail system which we will be come Summer.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions though.  Appreciate the help

Grant, 

I actually just checked and I have the setting edit_filter_content set to "no" and the pass_mime_types was blank.

I'm just guessing here, but I'm betting that you are sending your digest 
out with the actual messages as MIME attachments rather than textual 
copy in a new message.  (Note:  I think this is a good thing, so keep it 
up.)

However I'm betting that Mailman is seeing the individual messages as 
attachments and is scrubbing them because it does not know about the 
MIME type, or more likely it is not an allowed MIME type.

Go to Content Filtering -> pass_mime_types and make sure that 
multipart/digest, message/rfc822 and possibly text/rfc822-headers are 
included in the list.  message/rfc822 is the standard attachment like 
you would receive if I forwarded a message to you (as an attachment).

(Please refer to section 5.1.5 of RFC 2046 for more information.)

I don't know if this will solve your problem or not, but at least it's a 
direction to look in to.

Please let us know if this solves the problem as if it does, I propose 
that multipart/digest and message/rfc822 get added to the default 
allowed MIME types.
