Problem with .doc files as attachments

So here is an interesting issue. Server is 5.0.15 (RHEL 4 32bit). When sending .doc attachments, from the Zimbra webUI, it appears the to somehow corrupt the file. Attached are the error messages from OS X and Windows Vista. The same file sent from Gmail to Gmail works fine. However, Zimbra to Gmail, or Zimbra to Zimbra the file corrupts and yields the attached errors.
The file name has been blured, nothing else.

Does anything happen when you send via POP/MAPI/IMAP?

Client doesn't use POP/IMAP, strictly the webUI

I have the same Problem. When I send a doc-attachment the file is corrupted at the recipient. When I rename the same file, such as file.doc --> file.test, and the recipient rename it to original file name, so all fine and no problems. What does amavis with the doc files?????

I bet it's just another MIME issue due to Firefox.

This is fixed in 5.0.16 : Bug 32536 : Zimbra too trusting of MIME-type sent by client
